Ross Park Reconstruction September 2021 - January 2022
Construction is expected to commence by the end of September 2021 and continue until early 2022 (subject to approvals, weather and site conditions).
The Ross Park concept has been developed after years of engagement from the local community. This included a Community Stakeholder Design Charette with representatives from local businesses, community groups and educational providers, as well as community feedback received during public exhibition of the concept designs.
This first stage includes: • pot holing to locate services • undergrounding of overhead electrical lines, including connections to properties • relocation of water services, including connections to properties • installation of stormwater pollution mitigation devices in Ross Park and Lennox Park.
The new play space will include an all-ability carousel*, group nest swing, timber fort with slide and natural play elements including a wobbly bridge, balancing poles and a turtle sandpit maze created by local artists. The park also features an accessible toilet, covered picnic areas, shade trees, seating, and ‘art pavers’ designed by the community in association with the Lennox Arts Board.

Ross Park will be closed while these works are being completed. This will ensure the safety of our community and construction crew while also reducing the overall construction time. To find another park or playground near you, visit ballina.nsw.gov. au/playgrounds. * The accessible carousel is kindly donated through the fundraising efforts of Tracey Everingham-Armstrong with the local community.
