The splash pad at the popular Kwinana Adventure Park is set to undergo a $2 million upgrade.
Jointly funded by Lotterywest and the City of Kwinana, the project will help improve the reliability, functionality and overall experience of the splash pad area.
Works are expected to include new water play elements including a Mega Soaker and spiral tunnel, along with upgrades to the filtration system, plant and pump room, patio, toilets, shelter and surrounding amenities.
Premier Roger Cook said the Adventure Park was an important community destination for Kwinana families.
“The Adventure Park is truly one of Kwinana’s favourite parks, cherished by so many families in my community," Premier Cook said.
“Thanks to Lotterywest, I’m excited about the upcoming upgrades that will make the park’s facilities and play areas even better, ensuring that both current and future generations can enjoy wonderful summers there for years to come."
City of Kwinana Mayor Peter Feasey thanked Mr Cook and Lotterywest for its $1 million contribution towards the project.
“This is a fantastic outcome for Kwinana families and visitors, and we sincerely thank Premier Roger Cook for his support and Lotterywest for helping make this important community project possible,” Mayor Feasey said.
“Kwinana Adventure Park is one of the City’s most loved destinations, and the upgrade will help improve the reliability of the splash pad, add new play features and enhance the surrounding facilities so children and families can enjoy the space for many years to come.
“It is also a great example of the City working with external partners to advocate for and deliver value for our community, while helping to keep pressure off rates.”
The City will provide further updates on the project, including timing for works, as the project progresses.
