The new $1.2 million Collinsville Waterpark was officially opened to the public earlier this week and local children were excited to explore the free community facility.
With two thrilling water slides, a tipping bucket, water jets and shaded paddling area, the Collinsville Waterpark will offer a welcome and fun reprieve for families and tourists alike.
The equipment and the shade sails replicate the bright colours of Whitsunday Regional Council, whilst animal images and footprints tip toe over the anti-slip splash pad.
Mayor Andrew Willcox said the new waterpark was a great addition to the already existing Lion’s Park Precinct.
“One of the best features about this waterpark is that it is truly accessible to everyone,” said Mayor Willcox.
“The new fencing we have installed around that park also offers a safe haven for play, separating users from the road corridor.”
The new waterpark is the result of a Whitsunday Regional Council led Collinsville and Scottville community consultation in 2020 where over 100 submissions revealed that almost 50 per cent of people considered a new waterpark as their top priority.
“We listened to your feedback and today we are proud to officially open our $1.2million waterpark in Collinsville,” Mayor Willcox said.
The waterpark was constructed with funding from the Australian Government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
