"The construction contract for the Family Fun Park upgrade will be awarded early next week and construction is likely to begin the week after, with the utilities, civil and landscaping contractor to be onsite," a Council spokesperson said.
"The new playground equipment is being manufactured and will be delivered to the site in August. We anticipate the upgrade will be completed by the end of the year (about October-November)."
