About The Playground

Updated: January 05th, 2013 | Author: admin

The Lake Macquarie Variety Playground (LMVP) is located in Speers Point Park on the northern shores of Lake Macquarie, NSW.

It caters for the needs of children of all ages and all abilities to ensure that everyone can play and interact together. It is the largest play ground of its type in the country!

While not all children will be able to use every item in the playground, the aim of the project is that every child will find some elements that they can enjoy and learn from.
The playground has been designed to be physically accessible and socially inclusive – children of different ages and abilities playing and interacting together.

When the final stages are completed, LMVP is set to become the largest all abilities playground in Australia, covering just under 2 hectares at a total cost of approximately $6 million.

This playground has been built thanks to funding and support from Variety, the Children's Charity, Xstrata Coal, a Regional & Local Community Infrastructure grant from the Federal Government, and Lake Macquarie City Council.
