πŸ“… April 2026

Significant progress made

Great progress has been achieved on site, with enhancement works set to continue after the Easter break.

What's happened so far

  • Removal of old park furniture.
  • Clearing of overgrown shrubs and vegetation.
  • Construction of a new timber stairwell and steel edging.
  • Installation of new picnic settings.
  • New surface material laid in selected areas.

What's next

  • Installation of new play equipment and soft-fall surfacing.
  • Planting of coastal grasses and groundcover garden beds.
  • Placement of additional boulders for landscaping and play.
  • Installation of a new drinking fountain.

Temporary access arrangements

For everyone's safety, access through the Reserve remains restricted while works continue. Temporary safety fencing is in place, with pedestrian access directed:

  • From the car park through to Cross Street.
  • Via the shared path between the Tavern and the Reserve.
  • Across to Skidale Close, as previously advised.

We appreciate your patience during construction.

Nearly there!

Not long now until Skidale Close Reserve reopens, offering a refreshed and welcoming space for locals and visitors to enjoy.
