This free playground is open to families of all ages and people groups with hope as the theme.
We need three gazebos to be scattered over the eight acres for shade (Mildura is very hot!) two for sitting under and functions, the other two house indoor games out of the weather. The tyre playground is right next to the A79 Highway and needs safer fencing along the road and also other fencing inside to section-off areas. A mini golf course, basketball court, volleyball, table tennis and lots of other games are key activities.

Suicide has been a big issue in our region among our youth and families. These need HOPE; so we want to create a great family place that is relatively free with quotes of HOPE placed around for all to read. This place has been operating for almost a year now and is really enjoyed by those who come here. This garden area is on eight acres of land, right by the edge of Lake Hawthorn, with a beautiful gardens and playground being established that has a kiosk, coffees and light lunches.

The park is a great initiative and fully deserves the voting support of the Sunraysia Community.
