Official opening of Gunyama Park expansion

Gunyama Park features 6,300 square metres of new open space including a playground with 70 metres of tunnels and tube slides, a skate plaza, water play area and more than 150 newly planted trees.

Designed with areas for toddlers and primary school-aged children, the playground features swings, a flying fox, climbing ropes, in-ground trampolines, a small sand play area, musical elements and obstacles.

The park’s design reflects its location, with banksia scrub surrounding channels that mirror the original wetlands, and native plants belonging to the area.

The design also recognises how Aboriginal ways of living are dictated by knowledge of Country and seasonal changes in the environment, marked by transformations in flora and fauna and movements of the stars. It also includes a learning circle to support intergenerational and cross-cultural education, large lawn area, barbecues, and picnic tables.
