With the new amenities block at Vincent Fazio Park, Tuncurry set to open soon, the old amenities block will close from Friday 23 June.
The new amenities block will open around 10 July, with toilets only. The planned changerooms and accessible adult change facility will be added at a later date.
This will mean that for approximately two weeks, between Friday 23 June and Sunday 9 July, there will be no operating amenities at Vincent Fazio Park. The nearest alternative amenities are at John Wright Park, Tuncurry.
The new amenities block is part of a series of improvements to Vincent Fazio Park, which include the Tuncurry Water Playground.
Construction of the all-ability water playground is nearing completion, with construction of surrounding footpaths underway and landscaping to begin in coming weeks. The opening of the water playground is expected later this year, in time for the warm summer months.
Vincent Fazio Park currently includes a skate park and the Tuncurry Memorial Hall. Future plans are to develop a bicycle skills track, picnic and barbecue facilities, parking, and footpaths linking to Lone Pine Park and the foreshore.
The playground is possible thanks to $850,000 in funding from the Federal Government, along with developer contributions.
