Two new playground upgrades are done and dusted in Newcastle, with another couple of projects in the pipeline.

It’s all part of a $750,000 investment by City of Newcastle (CN) this financial year.

A community celebration marked the official completion of the recreation area and half-court basketball space at Beauford Avenue Reserve in Maryland at the weekend.

Now, it features a variety of equipment designed to spark creativity and encourage physical development in younger children, while also catering for the older kids and teens.

Councillors Callum Pull, Deahnna Richardson and Elizabeth Adamczyk join City of Newcastle executive manager community and recreation Lynn Duffy, parents and children to celebrate the completion of the playground upgrade at Beauford Avenue Reserve in Maryland.
