Kilpack Park Carlingford In Line for Major Upgrade

There is little that gets us as excited as a hot-off-the-press impending park upgrade, and news of Kilpack Park in Carlingford's imminent glow-up is no exception. 

According to the local council, the existing playground has reached the end of its life, and the vision for a new play space has been well and truly reimagined.

Kilpack Park Carlingford In Line for Major Upgrade

Coming in hot to the existing space on Darwin St, Carlingford—Kilpack Park is in line for a total facelift, a $1.55m project that will be funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program in collaboration with the City of Parramatta Council. 

As an overview, the project includes:

• Brand new play equipment
• Upgraded playground safety surfacing with new rubber soft fall
• Fitness equipment for adults to enjoy
• Beautiful new landscaping with moisture-loving native grasses
• Wider pathways for better street connections
• Enhanced lighting along all pathways for added evening security
• Protection for existing Blue Gum trees during the upgrades

Local council has compiled this plan after listening to the community's ideas and themes for the new play equipment. The updated plan features unique and challenging options for older children—something that came up a lot in conversations with residents.

The New Play Equipment

But here's what you really wanna know—what play equipment can you expect following the upgrade? Here's the lowdown. 

• A double slide for young children
• Balance beams and logs
• Tree-house play tower with climbing nets and a giant slide
• Triple swing set with a basket swing and toddler seat
