Kalgoorlie-Boulder Urban Landcare Group to deliver new nature playground at Karlkurla Bushland Park

Works have commenced on a new $1 million nature playground at Kalgoorlie's Karlkurla Bushland Park being delivered by the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Urban Landcare Group.

The project incorporates a zipline and large climbing structure with slide. This will be complimented with new park amenities, shade and BBQ area.

The nature playground will provide an additional recreational space for local families and children, set within a 200-hectare natural reserve.

The playground is tailored for primary school aged children, and includes a large, grassed space for picnics and a variety of play-based and sensory equipment.

The project is supported by a $600,000 Cook Government commitment and a $400,000 contribution from the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

WA Regional Development Minister Don Punch noted "the playground at Karlkurla Bushland Park will provide a new space for local children to explore and discover in an ever-changing natural setting.

"It's going to be a big playground space, conveniently positioned close to the entrance of the park, so parents and children can gather and play before they explore the rest of the park.”

WA Environment Minister Reece Whitby commended Kalgoorlie-Boulder Urban Landcare Group for their “ongoing work to protect and regenerate the bushland park, including native propagation and education programs undertaken across the park, and at the KBULG Eco and Cultural Education Centre".
