Cessnock City Council has commenced construction of major upgrades to the Birralee Park Playground in Kurri Kurri.
The upgrades include the removal of outdated play equipment to make way for brand new equipment, safety surfacing and other improvements.
Cessnock City Council's Director of Works and Infrastructure Paul McLachlan said the upgrades will create a safer, more engaging environment for children and families.
"We're excited to bring these much-needed upgrades to Birralee Park Playspace," said Mr McLachlan.
"This project underscores Council's ongoing commitment to expanding the infrastructure available for young people in our local area, be it playgrounds, multipurpose courts, BMX or skateparks.
"We're confident that the new playspace will provide a fantastic experience for children and families."
The Birralee Park Playspace Upgrade was designed by Moduplay Group, known for their innovative and high-quality playground solutions.
Upgrades are expected to be completed by late December 2024. Council is encouraging families and children to utilise play equipment at nearby Booth Park while facilities are closed through the construction period.
