A $7.1 million playground has opened in Coombs.
The new playground – featuring a bird’s nest tower, pod structures, swings and slides – is named after well-known Australian author Ruth Park.
Rosina Ruth Lucia Park AM was recognised for her service to literature and appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1987.
A wombat sculpture in the playground commemorates one of Park’s most famous books “The Muddle-Headed Wombat”.
The playground caters for all ages.
