Temporary Playground Closure At Botanic Gardens For Upgrade Works

The junior playground at the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens will be temporarily closed from Wednesday, April 29 until approximately May 9 to allow for scheduled improvement works.

Mackay Regional Council will install a new water sand play unit and a new excavator as part of the upgrade, enhancing play opportunities for younger visitors at the popular riverside parkland precinct.

‍

The closure will ensure works can be completed safely and efficiently, with access to the area restricted during the construction period. Council has advised the public that all other areas of the Botanic Gardens remain open for use during this time.

‍

Once installation is complete and safety checks have been finalised, the playground will be reopened to the community. Council will provide an update when the works are finished and the space is ready for use.

‍

Council has thanked the community for its patience and understanding while the improvements are carried out, noting the short-term closure will support longer-term benefits for park users.

‍

Residents are encouraged to plan alternative play options during the closure period.
