Shoalhaven’s Boongaree Rotary Nature Play Park officially opens

January 22, 2022

Shoalhaven City Council has today opened Stage 1 of the South Coast’s most anticipated playground - Boongaree Rotary Nature Play Park and Learn to Ride.

Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley advised that while Stage 1 was the beginning of a far more ambitious play space, the play area now offered something for everybody - "both the young and the young at heart".

Mayor Findley highlighted “there are slides, swings, climbing nets, and challenges for all ages. There is a flying fox, and we also have a wonderful learn to ride facility, for the youngsters to start learning to ride and improve their bike skills in a very safe environment.

“We have over 30 parking spaces, with accessible parking for all abilities and lift and change facilities within the amenities building.”

“To date there has been a $6.5 million investment from Council, the Federal and State Government, along with Berry Rotary and the Berry community, who have provided fantastic help and support in getting the project to this stage.”

Future works include a new skate park and pump track, a dog park and improvements to the sporting facilities, including additional formal car parking for visitors in accordance with the Boongaree Master Plan.

In the meantime, visitors may need to utilise on street parking in the neighbouring streets or formal Council car parks in the Berry township.
