Council has closed the dugong climber at the Dugong Park in Cardwell following a recent safety inspection.
During routine inspections of playground assets, Council identified safety concerns with the dugong climber (play slide) that requires the equipment to be closed immediately to protect public safety. The affected equipment has been barricaded and is not available for use.
All other playground equipment remains open and safe for children and families to enjoy.
Council understands this may be disappointing for park users and thanks the community for their understanding. The safety of children and families using Council playgrounds is always our highest priority.
For further information contact Council at 1300 763 903 or email enquiries@cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au.
