Background Information

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.

Naming the new Playspace

It is proposed to name the new playspace the Murraural 4K Playspace.

This proposal aligns with a Memorandum of Understanding between Council and The 4K, recommending the organisation's name be included in the playspace title to acknowledge their project contributions.

The proposed name also 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.

  • How do I say "Murraural", the new proposed name?

    Murraural is pronounced Murra-wall

  • What does the name mean?

    In the story of Gurangatch and Mirragan, the waterhole and the country surrounding the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee rivers are called Murrawall, in Gundungurra.

  • When will the new playspace be open?

    We anticipate the new playspace to be open in late May 2025 (weather pending)
