Swansea’s new splash park is ready for its first influx of visitors these school holidays.
The main attractions at the park are two waterslides, a 200-litre water tipping bucket, and an umbrella-post water feature.
Other features include five in-ground water sprays and two water cannons.
“There is nothing like this in Lake Macquarie,” City Council Holiday Parks Coordinator Garry Ellem said.
“We’ve made sure to have paths and ramps throughout the splash park so that people with disability can use the park to their full potential.”
The attraction is located at Swansea Lakeside Holiday Park and is just stage one of the pf a $950,000 project.
“Swansea Lakeside Holiday Park is the biggest holiday park in the Hunter Region – with 383 sites on offer, so it makes sense for the park to host a facility like this where a large number of visitors can access it,” Mr Ellem said.
“As we see more holidaymakers come into the park, surrounding retail stores, hospitality venues and tourism operators will benefit, which is a great reward after years of COVID-19 lockdowns.”
