The much-anticipated upgrade of Pindos Park at Tranmere will officially open this week.

The upgraded park boasts a state-of the art, inclusive and family-friendly space with a coastal theme and expansive views up and down the River Derwent.

Some of the park features include an all ages and fully inclusive play equipment, a large climb, play and slide structure, nature play equipment on soft bark mulch surface and a paling fence fully enclosing the play area.

Also included in the redevelopment was a substantial upgrade to the surrounding landscaping design including two new picnic areas with BBQs, the renewal of some existing vegetation, a new pathway network and improved access to the Clarence Foreshore Trail.

Clarence City Council Mayor Brendan Blomeley said the park was another fantastic project to serve the growing needs of the Clarence community.

“Parks are such an amazing asset for a community – they offer a place to connect with each other, a space to connect with the place they live and importantly an environment that encourages activity and general wellbeing,” he said.

“The Pindos Park redevelopment is another fantastic park to add to our growing list of parks in the region.

“We know from the opening of Blossom Park in Cambridge just last year, our community love and value parks.

“And there is more to come! Council are currently working on the review and consultation for the Bellerive Beach Masterplan as well as the Open Spaces Strategy and parks will be a strong feature in those conversations.”

The design of the new Pindos Park was informed following extensive community consultation in 2016 and again in 2023 which can be viewed on the Redevelopment of Pindos Park project webpage and the Your Say website.
