The playground was developed as a nature-based play space.
It incorporates Aboriginal art pieces by Turid Calgaret, Noelene Hamlett and Thomas de Munk-Kirkmeer who collaborated to create three Aboriginal-themed wooden sculptures of a snake, echidna and turtle.
Mr Cole said the aim when redeveloping the park was to create an attractive and contemporary space that blended into the natural landscape.
‘We also wanted to ensure the new area reflected traditional Aboriginal values and included indigenous artwork,’ he said.
