The Allan Cameron Park in Walkerston is now open after recent upgrades.
Allan Cameron Rotary Park was originally a Walkerston Rotary Club project in partnership with Mackay Regional Council - way back in the year 2000.
As the Allan Cameron Rotary Park was established in 2000 and all of the children's playground equipment would need replacing as it was quite old and dilapidated and no longer up to standard requirements - the proposal to upgrade the park to an 'Adult Exercise Playground' came about.
A survey had been conducted with the findings that the park was hardly used, except by students waiting for the school bus which stops there.
The fact that a bigger and better equipped playground had been built in the same area, just down the street on the corner of Stevic Street - and has high visitation numbers, was also taken into account.
The Adult Exercise Playground was suggested as it was noted that many 'walkers' cut through the park on their daily exercise route, therefore the suggestion of exercise equipment.
The Walkerston Rotary Club was consulted and kept informed every step of the upgrade which was greatly appreciated.
