The new Gipps St Recreational Precinct is now open! This $44.5 milion project spans a huge 32 hectares. For kids and families it offers basically everything you could want or need and will surely become a popular landmark destination for the local community, as well as visitors from further afield! Here’s what’s on offer.
The Gipps St Precinct, formally a waste facility, offers fantastic play spaces – an inclusive regional playground, nature play and the ever popular water play! There’s also a dog park for the furry family members!
The water play is designed in ‘stages’ to cater for abilities and ages – there’s calmer water and splashing right through to the drenching options for those that like to get absolutely soaked! Clever.
The nature play space gives kids an opportunity to use their imaginations while climbing, crawling and exploring!
It’s hard to convey the scale of the site but the below image gives you an idea of the construction area.
In addition to the playgrounds the precinct offers a youth zone with large skate park, full size pump track, parkour and multi-sport courts. Tweens and teens will seriously love this space!
There’s also:
- outdoor fitness equipment
- floodlit sports fields
- cricket practice facilities
- outdoor fitness equipment
- picnic and BBQ areas
- 500 car spaces.
The Gipps St Recreation Precinct is very much a destination play space and somewhere where you could spend a good few hours – great for school holidays coming up!
The Gipps Street Recreation Precinct is on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Gipps Street, Claremont Meadows. It’s about 30-45 minutes from Castle Hill, depending on traffic.
