ALREADY a breathtakingly beautiful spot and a great favourite for families and visitors alike, the wetlands at Victoria Park Lake, adjacent to Kaiela Arts, is set to gain a delightful new play space for children.

Utilising natural materials throughout, while avoiding the use of plastics and synthetic materials, the new design will encourage children of all ages to climb, explore and play across the rocks, logs, sand pit and large turtle shell.

Currently being installed by the Greater Shepparton City Council, the play space will also feature a shelter, barbeque area with tables and chairs as well as a raised grass picnic area shaded by arresting river red gums.

A part of the Shepparton Art Museum precinct, the project is expected to be completed by late March 2023.
