  • WATT's MAKING KIDS SMILE
    SPRING 2016 NORTHSYDNEYNEWS Three-year-old Emilia (pictured above) and two-year old Tayah (right) were among the first to test out our newly WATT’s MAKING KIDS SMILE refurbished playground at Watt Park in Lavender Bay. Getting to grips with the climbing frame, slides and roundabout, the girls enjoyed a fun day out at the playground with their grandmothers just days after it reopened in July. They also tried out the new swings, boat and spring rockers at the playground, which has plenty of space for family picnics. There’s also lots of shaded areas created by the numerous trees in the park. The playground won a design award from Kidsafe Australia in 1997 when it was first constructed. For this upgrade, Council opted to retain the original design and character, but replace the ageing equipment with new state-of-the-art play apparatus. More information about the playground and others in the North Sydney area is available on Council’s website: northsydney.nsw.gov.au/ Recreation_Facilities/Playgrounds 2 | NORTHSYDNEYNEWS FROM THE MAYOR If you live in Lavender Bay you probably There will be good things about the weren’t surprised to learn that the growth – big cities have an energy that suburb topped the list as Sydney’s most is very appealing.
