PLAYGROUND CLOSURE

Pia's Place all-abilities nature playspace will be closed from Monday 13 May to Friday 17 May while we undertake some maintenance works and rubber soft fall resurfacing.

Of course, with our two original playgrounds located in the Village, and the Children's Forest nearby set for exploring, there is still plenty of grounds to play in during this time!

If you're visiting Pia's Place or Whiteman Park this long weekend or over the next few weeks, please note that there have been some changes to the entrances to the Park!

⛔️ The Drumpellier Drive entrance is currently closed for METRONET works, but detour signage is in place.

⛔️ Beechboro Road North is closed south of the Park's entrance, so access is from the north via Tonkin Highway or Hepburn Avenue.

All the details can be found here or on the map below: https://www.whitemanpark.com.au/about-the-park/news/metronet-road-closures
