Humphrey Park in Pinjarra has undergone $300,000 in upgrades.
The community space is now fitted out with a kickabout space for play and exercise, a new play space with shade sails, and recreational facilities including seating and picnic tables.
Shire of Murray Chief Executive Officer Dean Unsworth said this project falls under the Shire’s focus area of Place, ensuring their rural charm is preserved while embracing innovative urban design ideas.
“It is a priority in the Shire’s Council Plan to continue to provide quality playgrounds and public open spaces to support the health and wellbeing of the Murray community,” Mr Unsworth said.
“These park upgrades have further developed the recent improvements to the park which were completed as part of the subdivision development to the south-west corner. Planting of the stormwater basin and new shade trees and shrubs will commence in Autumn."
The project was funded by the Shire of Murray with $150,000 allocated from the 2024-2025 capital works program, and an additional $150,000 funded by Lotterywest.
