Busy day at South Morang Play Central

A tired set of play equipment in South Morang has been replaced, with its playground turned into a vibrant space for children and families.

Whittlesea council ripped out the old play set in Brolga Park in South Morang, not far from the Riverside Community Activity Centre, and put in its place colourful new slides, swing sets, a fireman’s pole and spring rockers.

The new playground opened four weeks ahead of schedule, just in time for the April school holidays, and Tyler, 7, Emmerson, 3, and Jai Davies, 9, of South Morang, were among the first to try it out.

There are now picnic settings, new trees, garden beds and an open play area perfect for kick-to-kick.
