Hindmarsh Park is looking fresher than ever, thanks to some creative flair from the Kiama Council maintenance team. Even the humble bins are getting a bright new look, proving that no detail is too small when it comes to keeping our town beautiful.

The Bugle caught up with council workers Jack and Ellah as they and their team were sprucing up the park on a hot Kiama day. Jack, with a spray can in hand, could have easily been mistaken for a cheeky street artist. "It’s not graffiti, I promise!" he laughed.

The maintenance project aims to revitalise the park’s amenities, making them both functional and visually appealing. The bins might not be the stars of the park, but they’re part of the experience, and it’s good to keep Hindmarsh Park in top shape with all the visitors and locals it is attracting. .

The park upgrades have been given the thumbs up by kids and adults alike, with many commenting on the new vibe of the park. The bin makeover is just one of several steps the council is taking to ensure Hindmarsh Park remains a vibrant and welcoming space for the community.

So, next time you’re strolling through the park, take a moment to appreciate the hardworking team behind the scenes—proof that even a bin can bring a little more beauty into our lives!
