Community Update: We're excited to have our official opening event for this play space upgrade on Saturday, 4 October.

Progress Update

Excellent progress has been made at Colo Vale Railway Park! The play equipment has now been installed and is securely in place, primarily supported by concrete footings. We've also added subsoil drainage to help keep the park dry during wet weather.

The next major tasks over the coming weeks involve forming up and pouring the concrete for the learn to ride track around the playground's edge. We'll also continue with some minor earthworks to level the playground area.

The final steps will be to pour the softfall surfacing for the playground and apply the finishing line-marking and details. We're looking forward to bringing this park to life this springtime for the community of Colo Vale and wider northern villages within the Shire.

Colo Vale Railway Park Project background

Following feedback from residents, Council is upgrading Colo Vale Railway Park. After the community voted on two different concepts, Council approved moving forward with the Concept Design Option B, that residents chose.

The upgraded park at Colo Vale Railway Park will provide a range of benefits to residents and visitors of Colo Vale, including children and young people who will use it and the wider community around it. Further benefits include:

Increased health and happiness where physical activity is encouraged.
A stronger community for families to connect, meet their neighbours and build a sense of belonging.
Creating a well-designed play area that enhances the look and feel of the local Colo Vale community.
The upgraded park will provide a social hub for children and young people through interactive play.

The park is located within walking distance of the Colo Vale Community Centre and the Colo Vale Heritage Train Station along Railway Avenue, Colo Vale.
