KIDSTOWN Adventure Playground welcomed back the children of our community and reopened their doors on Saturday January 21.
After undergoing restoration from flood damage, KidsTown’s grounds and areas of attraction have all been refreshed with newly laid soft fall and the precinct’s gravel pathways have been levelled, sink holes filled and new garden mulch laid.
KidsTown coordinator Emily Lange explained how getting KidsTown through the flood recovery period and ready for re-opening wouldn’t have happened without the hard work from a number of community groups and local businesses.
“We would like to thank many staff from different Council departments, as well as the Kiwanis Club of Shepparton Sunrisers, Corrections Victoria, Cleaves Earthmoving and Garden Supplies, Blow it Mulch and TakeOva Security for all their hard work and assistance,” said Emily.
“It’s been a joy welcoming community members back through the gates. We are thrilled to be back open before the school holidays end.”
Unfortunately, due to extensive damage, the Miniature Train Line will not be opening for the foreseeable future. However, Dig In Café is open from 10am – 2pm during school holidays, and weekends only when term one resumes. The Sprout Edible Garden is open during café open hours and so is their latest attraction, the Disc Golf Course.
“Thank you to all those who visit our playground for their patience while we restored our grounds back to being a safe and fun space. We love seeing smiling faces coming through our doors again.”
