The Hill Top community gathered to celebrate the grand opening of its new, highly
anticipated playground on Saturday, 14 December.
Located in Hill Top Community Park along West Parade, the spacious, centrally located
playground is a hub for children, young people, and the broader community to enjoy.
Designed in consultation with residents, the fully fenced space features play elements
suitable for ages 4 to 15, including a ninja course, nest swing, and fitness equipment.
The project was a collaborative effort between Wingecarribee Shire Council and the Hill
Top Community Association (HTCA), with funding provided by the Federal Government’s
Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grant.
Wingecarribee Shire Mayor Jesse Fitzpatrick said the new play space was a fantastic
addition to the Hill Top community and commended the collaboration that brought it to
life.
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Hill Top Community Association for their
unwavering dedication to this project. We’re also thankful for the support of the Bowral
Mittagong Rotary Club. Their generous contribution helped us overcome setbacks caused
by vandalism,” said Mayor Fitzpatrick.
“The space encourages physical activity, promotes healthy lifestyles, and fosters a
stronger sense of community by providing a place for families to connect, children to play, and the entire neighbourhood to thrive,” he said.
