The All Abilities Playground at Victoria Park Lake in Shepparton will be closed for maintenance from Monday 29 May until Friday 2 June 2023.
The playground and public toilets will be closed to the public during this time to allow for Greater Shepparton City Council to undertake garden bed renewal works. Heavy machinery will be operating in the area, however there will be no impact to pedestrians or motorists.
The works are expected to be completed by 5pm on Friday 2 June, weather permitting.
Council’s Manager Parks, Sport and Recreation, Janelle Bunfield, said the playground was a popular spot in the community which Council strive to maintain to a high standard.
“Council recognises the inconvenience to the community however we need to ensure our facilities are maintained to the best standard for residents and visitors,” she said.
“This work is part of Council’s annual renewals program and will ensure the playground is safe, maintained and looking its best.”
The All Abilities Playground provides a range of play opportunities for children and families of all abilities. The playground is designed and maintained with access as a key priority.
