Council is making improvements to parks across Cumberland City!
August 2023:
Upgrades are now complete, and all the parks are now open.
June 2023:
Construction is nearly finished on most projects, and we're excited to announce that the upgraded playspaces will open from early July 2023. However, before we remove the temporary fencing, we must complete testing and certification of the rubber softfall and play equipment to ensure safety.
