Kindergarten playground nbow top turf
DIRT gave way to turf at Dingee Pre-School as youngsters returned from holidays to enjoy their new-look playground.
The playground project is one of several improvements made at the kindergarten.
Parents’ committee president Ashlea Martin said funds raised by previous families had been used for the playground works completed by Inglewood landscaper Jake Flaherty.
“Previous committees have done some awesome fundraising and we wanted to use the money to benefit the children,” Ashlea said.
“The playground looks so very different now that low-irritant turf has been installed where once there was dirt and the off patches of grass.”
Murals by Calivil artist Jo Guthrie have been installed at the pre-school entrance after the committee received a grant from the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal.
And the front yard of the pre-school has been transformed into a learning and play space as part of improvement projects.
Committee member Rishi Coutts said: “The fresh, green space brightens up the yard and gives them plenty of room for outdoor activities.”
