Figtree Park Hunters Hill has re-opened after closing for a year to undergo a major upgrade and to make the space more usable for families.
Located at 40A Gladesville Road, its $4.75m renovation has added great value to the space, which now includes a number of new features.
Park goers can now enjoy:
- a lovey nature themed playground
- water fountains
- tables and chairs
- plenty of grass
- walking paths
- beautifully manicured gardens
- improved lighting and drainage
- a new entrance on Gladesville Road with a plaza space and an inviting accessible pathway
- coming soon: an amenities building / toilet block will be the next addition to the park
The new playground features:
- climbing structures
- nest swing
- spring rider
- outdoor musical percussion
- talking tubes
- a rope ladder leading to an elevated platform
Surrounded by mature trees, come summer, the playground will be well-shaded. Additionally, the playground is fenced with seating inside so parents of little ones can rest easy! Best of all, just a short stroll away on the corner of Gladesville Road and Ryde Road, you’ll find a number of cafes and eateries, a florist, IGA and more.
