Playground for little ones

When it opened in January 2020, Janelle McIntosh, Hornsby Shire Councillor shared on her Facebook page:

‘The playground has a wonderful mix of activities for the youngest to the oldest, and suitable for all abilities.

There’s also lots of thoughtful inclusions for families such as an accessible toilet and baby change room; drinking water station and shade, lots of shade. There’s plenty of seating right near the equipment, picnic and bbq areas and a bike track around the playground. The playground is fully fenced.

The park has preserved two of the lovely old trees that many of us climbed as kids and added over 100 new trees and extensive landscaping.’

Storey Park Facilities

Storey Park Community Centre

Storey Park features a brand new state-of-the-art Community Centre, with multipurpose rooms that are be ideal for a wide range of events and activities.

Hornsby Shire Mayor Philip Ruddock said:

‘The community has waited a long time for this and there is a lot of excitement amongst our residents.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this job is to see something so important become a reality, having watched it advance from an idea on paper. This is a very special facility, as it will help us to meet the growing needs of the local community. In a world that is ever more fast-paced and fractured, it is vital that we retain these community spaces – similar to the town square and communal fireplace of old – where people can come together.

It’s hard to pick a single highlight, but I’m particularly pleased about the inclusive play area. In all of our new playgrounds we make a special effort to offer a fun space for everybody, regardless of their age or abilities, and this is no exception.’
