Read our latest update on work at Memorial Park. The gates are also being painted. From Tuesday 7th April, decorators will begin preparing the entrance gates for repainting. The gates will be colour matched to restore them to their original appearance.
During these works, vehicular access to the park will be restricted. Vehicle access will only be permitted outside of working hours, which are 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.
The works are expected to be completed by Friday 17th April. On occasion, it may be necessary for the contractor to work outside these hours, and we appreciate your patience and understanding should this occur.
Pedestrian access through the main gates will be maintained at all times.
These works have been scheduled during the school holidays to minimise disruption during school drop off and pick up times.

We kindly ask park users for their consideration and cooperation while we undertake the next phase of improvement works in Memorial Park.
