The design and construction of an all-inclusive play space, skate park, site access and park at Barclay Street recreational precinct, Eden.
A master plan for the Barclay Street sportsground was endorsed by Council in August 2020. The masterplan identified the opportunity to develop a multi-functional recreation precinct at the Barclay Street sportsground including an all-inclusive play space and skatepark.
This project includes the design and construction of:
Council is committed to providing safe and accessible recreational infrastructure and opportunities for the community.
The new multi-functional recreation precinct will be a social place for the community, increasing social cohesion.
Recreational activities have direct benefits in improving physical health and wellbeing, such as increased life expectancy, reduced risk for heart disease and improved mental health.
Recreational infrastructure has great potential to attract new residents to the area, especially young families, combatting some of the challenges faced by an ageing population.
Total project funding: $3,074,000
This project aligns with Bega Valley Shire Council Community Strategic Plan 2040 through Outcome 1; Goal 2; Strategy 4.

Playground
Skatepark
Memorial space
Access road and car park
This project has been completed
Construction of playground zone will commence on Monday 10 July 2023.
From Monday 21 August 2023, a specialised skate park contractor will also be on site for the construction of the new skate park. To ensure safety for all our contractors and minimise disruptions to public access, the car park, access road, and memorial spaces will be completed once the skate park contractors have completed their works.
Inclusive play spaces are easy to access, easy to move around, provide a range of play options and challenges, and have appropriate facilities in a comfortable environment. Inclusive play spaces encourage everyone to stay as long as they choose.
A play space is more than just equipment. It is the entire setting used and enjoyed as part of the play experience.
Darren White of Base Plate in Victoria provided the design. Darren has been part of the skating community for over 30 years and has been involved in over 500 skate park designs here in Australia and overseas.
Demolition of the skate park will commence from the Monday 10 July and construction of the new skate park is expected to be complete by late-October 2023.
The closest skate park is the Pambula Beach skate park.
