Sneak peek at Port’s splash park
THE first images of vibrant new water play features currently under construction at the Port Douglas Splash Park have been released by Douglas Shire Council.
The $3.3 million project remains on schedule, with the grand opening set for Friday, September 20. The new facility is expected to become a popular destination for local families and visitors alike.
The council deferred $1.72m from capital works projects to help pay for the park which has also received funding of $1.5m from the state government.
The water park is near Four Mile Beach behind Port Douglas Surf Club. The playground at Jalunbu Park behind Surfy Bistro will include a nature-themed splash park with a 400sq m splash pad, new footpaths, picnic shelters, a barbecue area and a carpark upgrade.
The council believes with more landscaping and footpaths, themes that tie into local Indigenous culture, rainforests, beaches and Mossman Gorge, it could be an iconic destination for tourists and residents.
