A vibrant splash of colour greets you. It’s the Old School Park fence. Bruno Mota’s artwork brightens the Gymea Bay Road. This isn’t just any park. Old School Park is a beloved local spot. It’s a testament to community spirit and thoughtful design.
The Old School Park wasn’t always this colourful. It underwent a major upgrade in 2022. The transformation cost between $225000 and $250000. This investment brought new play equipment. Landscaping and softfall were also added. This ensured that the park is accessible to everyone.
Now look around. See the activity panels the swings? There’s even a basket swing and a double swing. Children squeal with delight as they navigate the balance logs. In-ground trampolines and a spinner provide endless fun. The softfall is synthetic. It’s both safe and accessible.
But the fun isn’t limited to the playground equipment. Old School Park backs onto a bushland reserve. It’s a beautiful blend of nature and modern play. The park is fenced along Gymea Bay Road for safety. There’s even a shaded picnic shelter. Perfect for birthday parties or a relaxed afternoon. A bubbler and accessible amenities block complete the facilities. For the bike enthusiasts there are paths nearby.
The park’s design followed the “Everyone Can Play” principles. The Multi Play Skytower Unit with its 4m Skyclimber challenges older children. The Premium Multi Play unit caters to younger children. Low lying timber balance equipment provides a nature play area. It’s a wonderful spot for quiet relaxation under the shade of the eucalyptus trees. The bicycle repair shop is a unique addition. It adds a fun sensory play element.
Old School Park is more than a playground. It’s a community hub. It’s a place where children laugh and families gather. It’s a place where nature and modern amenities meet seamlessly. Remember the vibrant colours the laughter the sense of community. Remember Old School Park.
