The David Wood Playspace Project is currently under construction, an inclusive playspace delivered with funding provided by Council, NSW Governments Stronger Country Community Fund grant, the Retford Park Planning Agreement and funding from local community group The 4K.

Community consultation was undertaken in 2022 and 2023 which help informed the concept design. You can learn more about the process that was undertaken by reviewing the concept designs in the document library on this page.

The new upgraded playspace will include:

• Play equipment suitable for infants, children and young people
• Learn to ride pump track
• Park furniture
• Water play elements
• Flying fox
• Sensory walk

We'd like to thank those who have provided their feedback to date. We've listened to your feedback and have included this in our What We Heard reports in the document library. Please follow this page to stay updated about the progress of this project.

The naming of the new playspace as "Murraural Playspace" was formally adopted by Council at the Wednesday 16 April Ordinary Meeting of Council. The contributions of The 4K, Wingecarribee Shire Council and Department of Regional NSW will be acknowledged on a plaque or similar at the entrance to the new playspace adjacent to the David Woods Playing Fields.

The name reflects community feedback and honours the local Aboriginal creation story of Gurangatch and Mirrigan, which centres on the Murraural waterhole at the confluence of the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee Rivers.

This story has directly shaped the playspace's design and features. Further details are available in the Gurangatch and Mirragan Jenolan Caves article and the engagement reports in the document library on this page.
