Park upgrades completed for Eunga Street Park, Tweed Heads South and Cudgen Foreshore Park, Kingscliff

Thank you to the local communities in providing your input into the playground upgrades for Eunga Street Park and Cudgen Foreshore Park.

The features of the new park designs are the direct result of community input. The local community shared their ideas on what features they would like to see in the park as part to create recreational spaces that are more welcoming and accessible to local residents.

The park improvements include new play equipment, landscaping, seating, additional tree planting for natural shade and new pathways to improve connectivity through the parks.

Our aim was to deliver high quality neighbourhood parks that better reflect community needs and increase people’s enjoyment of their local area.

These park upgrades have been made possible by a $150,000 grant from the Department of Family and Community Services to revitalise park and play spaces which are adjacent to social housing.

Council has now completed the three park upgrades these including Eunga Street Park, Tweed Heads South, Cudgen Foreshore Park, Kingscliff and Arbor Place Park at Bray Park, Murwillumbah.

New playground to be installed in Kingscliff

Cudgen Foreshore Park in Kingscliff will soon receive a significant upgrade thanks to a grant from the Department of Family and Community Services. It’s another park to benefit from grants to improve open space and recreation within the Tweed.

Works on the Cudgen Foreshore Park will commence on 19 March 2019, with the project scheduled to be completed by late May 2019.

The features of the new park design at Cudgen Foreshore Park are the direct result of community input. The local community shared their ideas on what features they would like to see in the park as part of a Council-run family fun day late last year.

The final concept design includes the following improvements:

• Interactive play equipment for 2-12 year olds with a unique nautical theme
• Seating areas
• Scooter track and pathways
• Natural play features and green open space
• Curved pathways and integrated natural elements

Existing mature trees will be protected and additional tree planting in the park will provide much needed shade.
