Des Renford Leisure Centre installing new splash park

Randwick City Council is transforming the Des Renford Leisure Centre’s current toddler pool area into a colourful new splash park with the transformation expected to be completed by summer.

Construction is underway on the $1.5 million project with Mayor Dylan Parker enthusing “we are excited to transform the current toddler pool area into a new place for family fun and adventure for the children of our community.”

Designed with sustainability in mind, the new park will use a water circulation system that prioritises water conservation. The new system will recycle and reuse water, allowing up to 95% of used water to be recovered.

The design also includes new landscaping and new seating areas for parents and carers to supervise their children.

The new splash park will include in-ground and above-ground structures such as:

  • Slides

  • Water sprays

  • Spiral tunnel

  • Fun-brella

  • Sneaky soaker

  • Surf cannon

  • Surfboard

  • Dump bucket

Construction is scheduled to be complete in late September 2023.
