HAVE YOUR SAY - DAVID BELL PARK PLAYGROUND
Which new playground equipment would you like to see at David Bell Park, Coonabarabran?

As part of Council's shire-wide Playground Equipment Safety Assessment, some of the existing equipment at David Bell Park was identified as not meeting current Australian Standards and is scheduled for replacement.

Council has developed four replacement options, and we want to hear from the people who use the park about which one they would most like to see installed.

As part of the playground renewal, Council will also install a new seesaw, spring rocker seat and softfall.

Feedback closes 4.30 pm, Friday 9 October 2026.

View the four options and choose your preferred playground equipment https://www.warrumbungle.nsw.gov.au/Have-Your-Say/David-Bell-Park-Playground-Equipment-Replacement
