Designed by award winning playground designer Ric Mcconaghy, Lithgow Adventure Playground at Endeavour Park is one of the largest recreational developments for the children and families of Lithgow in recent years according to council. 

“Council is very excited about this playground and you would have to travel a long way to see anything as special as this,” Mayor Ray Thompson said. 

“This all abilities playground will provide fun, safe, interesting and unstructured play areas for children to develop their creative, social and cognitive skills."

The playground was designed with a mining theme in mind and has a climbing tower in the style of mining poppet head as the centre piece. There is also a double mouse wheel, flying fox, climbing walls, water play features and more. 

According to council's community and culture manager Matthew Johnson, the project aims to bring visitors to Lithgow to experience its range of recreational, sporting and cultural attractions.

Mr Johnson said the park would be an attraction at a regional level, allowing families to spend plenty of time there. 

“There is quite a variety so the kids won’t get sick of it." 

Cr Thompson said he would like to acknowledge the funding support from Centennial Coal and the NSW Government's Stronger Country Communities Fund. 

“I would also like to express council’s appreciation to Co-ordinated Landscapes which did a fantastic job of building the playground and to the many other contractors and artists who had a hand in it," he said.
