Project update 6 March 2025

Construction was completed in January 2025. The project is now complete.




Thank you for providing feedback on the draft concept plan.

Thank you to the 41 residents who provided feedback via a community survey and those who attended the Family Fun Day in the park held on Saturday 11 May from 10 am to 12 noon.

The feedback you provided was consolidated into an engagement report, which served as valuable input for shaping the final concept plan.

The draft concept plan was on public exhibition from 24 April to 22 May 2024.

The upgrade of Saddle Way Park has revitalised and modernised the existing park by upgrading and enhancing the existing play elements and park facilities.

Construction is now complete.



About the park

Council upgraded Saddle Way Park in Murwillumbah to create a neighborhood park that is more inclusive of everyone in the community, with better play equipment and park facilities. The park upgrade will also improve its resilience to future weather events.

What's proposed?

  • New play equipment for 2 to 13 years
  • Scooter loop
  • New basket swing
  • Nature play
  • Accessible drinking fountain
  • Accessible picnic table and shelter
  • Landscaping and tree planting for natural shade


Why it’s happening?

The existing playground was damaged in a severe weather event in 2022 and the play equipment has reached the end of its life.
