Stage 1 of Berry's $12 million Boongaree Park (formerly Berry District Park) - the Rotary Nature Play Park and Learn to Ride area - has opened in time for the last week of the school holidays.

The Park, on North Street just south of the northern entrance into Berry, has slides, swings, climbing nets, a flying fox and challenges for all ages.

Future works include a new skate park and pump track (with construction commencing in 2022), a dog park and improvements to the sporting facilities, including additional formal car parking for visitors in accordance with the Boongaree Master Plan. All stages are expected to be completed by early 2023.

To date there has been a $6.5 million investment from Council, the Federal and State Government in the project.
