The current playground equipment at the community house has been deemed unsafe to use as it sways badly when children use it and the council and community house have had to lock it off from use. We would like to replace this equipment to ensure it is more appropriate to use and will stand the test of time into the future. We have playgroup children, youth group children, local community children and our 6-10 year old program children not able to access this playground and it is the only local play equipment in the area within 20 km

This playgroup was previously regularly used by all children in the area and would give children a place to play outside again.
This is the only play equipment available at this end of town within walking distance for local children and their families.
It means parents must drive up to the other end of Flowerdale or to a neighboring town to take their children to the park.
Which limits the potential for a child to walk to the park with friends or access a park if their parent does not drive or have petrol, as is the case regularly.

Needed for the children in the community as there is very little else for them.

It would be great to have a safe playground suited for all ages - the current one doesn’t seem like much thought went into it when it was put there. . It’s defiently unsafe!

Would be a real blessing to have a safe playground once again for my children/community families to use once again! We loved playing here at playgroup and outside of playgroup also, we need this for our community :)

In desperate need of replacement, dangerous & unsafe for little ones. Much needed as many more families with young children are relocating to the area & nothing else within walking distance for these little ones to enjoy

The only little park within walking distance for the little ones. It was regularly used by the families who visited the Flowerdale Community House. Urgently needs replacement.
