Alderson Park Upgrade Official Opening

I was thrilled to reopen Alderson Park in Merrylands on Friday, 28 March with a couple of my fellow Councillors. It didn’t rain on our parade as residents and children enjoyed exploring the new inclusive playground, basketball half-court and soccer goals. Come down and give it a try—I’m sure it will be an instant hit during the upcoming school holiday period!
