The Bernie Goodwin Memorial Park in Morisset has received a massive $2 million revamp. Check out these photos courtesy of Lake Macquarie City Council.

Lake Macquarie Mayor Cr Kay Fraser was on hand at Bernie Goodwin Memorial Reserve to join in the celebration and officially open the new facility. Cr Fraser said the contemporary playground was built to create an inviting space for the whole community.
The inclusive colourful playground spans across two separate areas, an upper playground area catering to younger kids and a lower playground area for older kids.


Climbing nets, swings, roundabout – plenty to keep kids happy.There is also fitness equipment for adults.

Construction of a new skate park is expected to start in the first half of 2021. Bernie Goodwin Memorial Park is located at 59 Newcastle St, Morisset. Another playground to visit during summer.
