Park is one to be proud of
A VIBRANT new chapter has started at Gordonvale with the opening of stage one of the redeveloped Pyramid Parklands Gujura, formerly known as the Kenrick Street Park.
The milestone marks the completion of the first phase in a visionary masterplan designed to create a destination park for the growing community west of the Bruce Highway.
“This is a wonderful milestone for Gordonvale and I’m thrilled to see stage one of Pyramid Parklands Gujura come to life,” said Cairns Mayor Amy Eden.
“This project demonstrates our dedication to creating spaces where everyone can come together, unwind, and enjoy,” she said.
Local Government and Water Minister Anne Leahy said it was “a good example of what we can achieve for Queensland communities when we work constructively with local councils”.
“Growing communities such as Gordonvale need green spaces where residents can go to relax or exercise with family and friends,” she said.
Division 1 Councillor Brett Moller said the park was a place the community was proud to call its own.
“This is a safe, sustainable, and connected place in the southern corridor that complements residents’ quality of life,” he said.
The $6 million redevelopment includes:
A full-size basketball court and playground
A fenced dog off-leash area
A pump track
A learn-to-ride track
Landscaped picnic spaces with shelters, tables and seating.
