Hindmarsh Park upgrade works have been completed and the brand new playground and picnic facilities are now open to the public.

The park upgrades, announced in January of this year, saw Kiama Council invest $4.5 million in the new playground and picnic area with state funding and support from the NSW government. 

“The park is great - it caters for the older kids but there’s also things for the little ones to do,” Mum of Jasmine, Mina says.

Families can enjoy an impressive playground, fitted out with a trampoline, seesaw and swings, to name a few. 

The upgrade includes the rejuvenation of the Orry Kelly stage, with a new canopy installed and an upgraded accessible ramp and side stairs for presentations and events. A new lane has been added to aid pedestrians and equipment to the railway pathway.  

“I have a friend and her little boy who has outgrown the park at Surf Beach, so this park is great for that,” Mum of Pippa and Loni, Megan says. 

Hindmarsh Park also has been boosted with additional picnic settings, platform seating, benches, a barbecue and drinking fountains for everyone to enjoy ahead of warmer weather. 

The grand reveal has come ahead of schedule by a month, with the official opening originally expected in late October.
