ROSS PARK REVAMP ins pired by natu re
ROAD AND STORMWATER PROJECTS
Ross Park will be revitalised when the first stage of the Lennox Village Vision construction works begin later this year. Key features of the Ross Park upgrade will include: A central pathway opening up views to the water from the street A new play space including: all-ability carousel (donated by the fundraising efforts of Tracey-Everingham Armstrong and the Lennox Head Community), small timber play fort with slide, nest swing and nature play elements Accessible toilet Interactive sculpture Covered picnic areas Native gardens Shade trees and seating. A beachfront ‘chill-out zone’ will also be created. A hardwood timber deck at the main observation area will provide a place to access the beach, and a leaning bench will be installed so that people can enjoy the view. Council is currently calling for Expressions of Interest from artists to create an interactive sculpture that will be integrated into the landscape near the play space. This sculpture will be inspired by the local landscape and marine park context. The first stage of works will also involve undergrounding of electricity in the CBD section of Ballina Street. This will allow native trees to be planted to provide shade to the street and park.
