We aim to spread park renewals across all suburbs so that every family can have access to new play equipment in their neighbourhood. You can keep up to date with park upgrades all across Shellharbour and have your say in our Playground Renewals & Upgrades page.

Further play pieces and fitness equipment are not within the scope of these works. However, we will consider their installation in the future.
