WE DID IT! 🎉

Laurel Lodge’s first-ever playground is officially OPEN FOR PLAY this MONDAY 19th January! 🛝 🙌🏽

What started back in 2019 with a small group of local parents and one clear aim; to get a much-needed playground for the children of Laurel Lodge…has finally become a reality!

After petitions, setbacks, opposition, covid and budget delays, we’re absolutely thrilled after almost 7 years (my youngest was 3 when we started, now turning 10 this year 😅) to see a space where parents, minders, guardians and kids can gather, socialise, make memories and build friendships ~ adding even more to the wonderful Laurel Lodge community!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the cause, made submissions, wrote to local councillors and kept the momentum going!! We wouldn’t have this great play area without everyone’s voice!

Well done, Laurel Lodge community! 🎉💚

🎉 Playground Update – Laurel Lodge 🎉

🛝 We were told by in mid-late May that the long-awaited playground works would begin within the month—so we’re hopeful that in the next two weeks, we’ll finally see boots on the ground! 🛠️👷‍♀️

Keep your eyes peeled and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Exciting times ahead for the kids (and the grown-ups too)! 🌳✨
