#GreatNewsThursday – Jubilee Park play space official opening

Council, in conjunction with Jubilee Park Committee of Management and Avenel Active Inc., are inviting the community to attend the grand opening of new play equipment and shade sails at Jubilee Park.

The play equipment upgrades were made possible thanks to Council and the shade sails were installed due to the work of Jubilee Park Committee of Management and Avenel Active Inc. who secured a State Government grant.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said the local community, particularly children, helped to select the play equipment for the upgrade.

“Officers attended the Avenel Kindergarten and Avenel Primary School to conduct activities with children where they selected some of the equipment they would like to see in the park,” she said.

“We are so grateful for the support of the local community as well as Jubilee Committee of Management and Avenel Active Inc. who assisted with this project as well.”

Among the new equipment is an all-abilities swing, stepper bridge, fixed hanging rings, scaling wall, wave bridge, fibreglass slide and inclined net bridge.

Installation of the shade sails at the Jubilee Park children’s playground was supported by Victorian Government funding through the Department of Health Community Shade Grants Program.

Jubilee Park Committee of Management and Avenel Active thanked the many volunteers, residents and visitors who contributed to the Avenel winter concert, which raised the funds needed to complete the shade sails project.

Mayor Binks said the community was welcome to attend the official opening on Thursday August 10 from 12.30pm at the Jubilee Park play space.

There will be a chance to decorate a yummy cupcake to take home with you.
