WORK will begin this month on a community-inspired adventure playground as part of Logan City Councils upgrade of the Logan Village Green.
The $1.6 million upgrade has been in planning and design since the 2018 Logan Village Forum, where the project was identified as a priority.
Features of include a birds nest play structure, trampolines, a flying fox, totem poles with ropes and a dry creek bed flanked by timber steppers and balance beams.
Play equipment includes a universal access spinner and
an all-abilities multi-swing.
Other works in the Village Green upgrade include a small amphitheatre, a shelter and seating, a barbecue, an upgraded water bubbler, additional lighting and signage and an avenue of large trees.
A safety camera is already installed in the area,
which is monitored 24/7.
Council invested $1.1 million and the project received $500,000 from a federal government regional grants program.
Division 4 councillor Laurie Koranski said feedback from the local community had helped design a unique and special facility.
The Village Green is in the heart of Logan Village and is an open space that is much loved and well-used by the local community, she said.
All new structures and elements have been designed to reflect the rural and heritage character of the Village.
Locals and visitors have always loved spending time in the Village Green and this upgrade will further enhance those enjoyable times.
Works are scheduled to be completed by December, weather permitting.
