Kelso Community Hub playground wins award

The outdoor recreational space at the Kelso Community Hub has received an award of excellence through Parks and Leisure Australia, the leading industry association for professionals in the sector.

The industry awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding initiatives and innovative efforts of ‘the people behind the places’ which promote good use of leisure time for social, environmental and economic benefits to the community.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said the facility was opened in July last year and provides a vibrant, innovative and inclusive space for the community.

“Designed by Fiona Robbe from Landscape Architects and constructed by Tablelands Builders, the space includes slides, swings, monkey bars and an accessible spinner,” he said.

The space also enhances social cohesion for families and community members and provides therapeutic benefits featuring elements that blend natural materials, including timber, rock structures and boulders.
