Splash park and toddlers’ pool temporarily closed for remedial works

The children’s splash park and toddlers pool in Kyogle will be temporarily closed while Kyogle Council undertakes remedial works to the surface of the play area.

Works will start this afternoon (Wednesday 7 October) and are expected to be completed by the weekend.

Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland said the decision to temporarily close the new splash park followed reports of a number of children falling and sustaining cuts and grazes at the splash park over the long weekend.

“While it is not uncommon for the occasional minor injury to be sustained at splash parks, Council is sufficiently concerned about the wellbeing of the community and pool patrons to have made the decision to temporarily close the splash park and toddlers pool to carry out works to improve the surface,” Cr Mulholland said.

“Council will keep the community updated via Facebook and the Council website.  In the meantime, customers will still be able to use the main and medium pools.”
