Archway completes park project
Archway completes park project
A new archway and bench seat at Mary Carroll Park in Gosnells will provide visitors with a perfect vantage point to view the internationally renowned wetland.
The archway marks the final element of the $3.5 million upgrade to Mary Carroll Park. The project also delivered the City’s largest all-abilities playground, a pedestrian bridge, yarning circle, picnic areas, a Changing Places accessible facility and more. Lotterywest contributed $1 million towards the project.
The timber arch features artwork by local Noongar artist Gertrina Hayden, hand carved into the timber poles. The design reflects artwork featured throughout the park by Ms Hayden and fellow Noongar artist Tamara Hayden.
Mayor Terresa Lynes said the double-sided bench was thoughtfully designed with a dual purpose in mind.
