Water park ready for warmer weather

The Barrallier Park small-scale water play facility was unveiled and tested in early August by Wollondilly Mayor Matt Gould, Hon Angus Taylor MP, Judy Hannan MP and Councillors.

“The water play facility will be open to the public for use when the weather warms up in September,” the mayor said.

“We will hold a community celebration at that time.

“I’m excited for the kids of The Oaks and surrounds who will get to cool down in this fun and vibrant facility during the hotter months. It includes a water play area, accessible amenities with changerooms, seating, pathways and landscaping.

“We first took the idea of small-scale water play facilities to the community in 2021 and I’m delighted to see the project now constructed and ready to use in Spring.”

Minister for Regional NSW Tara Moriarty said the park will be a great addition to the community. “Getting kids comfortable around water and playing safety in water is a great way to get them outdoors and looking forward to other water sports like swimming,” Minister Moriarty said.

“I’m sure the park will be very popular in the warmers months as locals and visitors cool off at this fantastic new facility.”

This project received $670,000 from the NSW Government’s well as funding from the Commonwealth Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program along with Council contributions.
