Update #6 - June 30, 2025

Alsatia Park is taking shape!

Vassallo Constructions has ticked off a major milestone with the installation of new playground equipment at Alsatia Park.

As a result of community feedback, the playground was relocated from the eastern side of the park near the skatepark to the western side next to the basketball court to provide separate play spaces for small children and older kids and skatepark users.

The new playground will feature a large combination unit in the shape of a harvester, which pays homage to the Mackay region's agricultural history. It features multiple slides, climbing ropes, cubbies and more-under trafficable softfall.

The playground will also feature equipment catering to younger children, like a smaller combination unit in the shape of a tractor, which will be under shade, and multiple spring rockers.

Parents will now have a great vantage point from additional seating being installed within the playground space.

The new park will have something for kids of all ages to enjoy, with the playground catering to a wider age range, an upgraded skatepark, a ping pong table in the hang-out space and new football posts.
