Koolambidi Woola is Park of the Year

Koolambidi Woola has been named Park of the Year at the Parks and Leisure Australia 2023 Regional Awards of Excellence!

It was also recognised with the Playspace Award for projects more than $500,000.

The Park of the Year Award celebrates and promotes vibrant, successful well designed and managed new or significantly revitalised parks/open spaces by recognising and rewarding exceptional examples of best practices in terms of design and management.

While the Playspace Award is given to a playspace that contributes to the creation of a sense of “place” for its local community and exhibits landscape and/or structural design innovation that delights and aids childhood development.

We would like to thank our co-award winners Playce who were the design consultants for Koolambidi Woola as well as the community who helped get this project off the ground and supported it.

Koolambidi Woola will now be a finalist at the National Awards of Excellence being held in October.

This project has been made possible thanks to a $2.5 million grant from major supporter Lotterywest. Support for the project has been provided through a grant from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications - Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
