Griffith City Council set to open new inclusive playground

July 15, 2019

Griffith City Council’s new inclusive playground, Enticknap Park, is on target to open by the end of this month. The all abilities playground is located in East Griffith bordered by Langley Crescent, Grey Street and Murphy Crescent.

The playground caters to different levels of ability and is a place where children, young people and their families can play, socialise and have lots of fun. A new state of the art wheelchair accessible BBQ and picnic shelter will allow all members of the community to utilise the facility.

The playground features a 25 metre flying fox, four metre high climbing pyramid, sensory zone, basket swing, and a fully wheel chair accessible spinner and sand digger.
