Vanessa SchmittMandurah Coastal Times

THE importance of parks for sport and recreation was on the agenda at a workshop in Mandurah.

Held by Parklands WA, the aim of the workshop was to deliver the best public open space possible for the community.

“Beyond being attractive and providing a venue for sport and recreation, public open space plays a vital role in building healthier and more vibrant communities,” Parkland WA spokeswoman Katherine Howard said.

“The Peel and South-West regions of WA are abundant in green spaces that present their own unique challenges and opportunities.”
