Old playground equipment to be decommissioned in Seaforth

Published: 10 Aug 2023

Seaforth and surrounding communities are advised that playground decommissioning works are planned for mid-August.

Council’s parks team will be removing the existing ageing play equipment and fabric shade structures in both Seaforth Camping Reserve and Jim Adams Memorial Park as well as the fencing at Jim Adams Memorial Park.

The removal of this equipment will coincide with the opening of the highly anticipated $8.6 million Seaforth Esplanade redevelopment project which includes a new junior and senior playground as well as an exciting water play area.

Jim Adams Memorial Park will remain an open space to continue to honour the contribution made by Cr Jim Adams to the Seaforth community.

While the removal of the playground at the Seaforth Camping Reserve will enable additional camping sites to address some of the sites that were lost due to the new Coastal Walk.
