THE revitalisation of the $400,000 Peace Park in Maddington was officially opened by City of Gosnells Mayor Olwen Searle and Planning Minister John Day last week.
The project was part of the Maddington Kenwick Sustainable Communities Partnership. It extends from Kamber Court through to Avebury Court and features playground equipment seating, dual pathways, lighting, native planting and water-wise landscaping.
Mr Day said the partnership had established a framework for a whole series of projects designed to regenerate the Maddington and Kenwick areas.
“Peace Park is a great outcome for the partnership and is an example of how State and local governments can work together to deliver lasting benefits to people living in local communities,” he said.
He said the City had transformed a drainage reserve into a much safer and visually appealing asset for the community.
Cr Searle said community consultation played a key role in the overall area design and name for the park.
