Dunningham Park Playground is Getting a Much-Needed Facelift

Is there anything cooler than a playground? A playground by the beach, we say! Dunningham Park Playground is just such a playground, as its nestled right on the foreshore of one of Sydney's most popular and family-friendly beaches.

Dunningham Park Playground is wedged between North Cronulla and South Cronulla beaches and has provided many kids with hours of play in between swimming, surfing, and sand-castle making, so much so that the poor Old Dame is looking a little tired. So it's Sutherland Shire Council to the rescue with plans to spruce up the old chook with a new playground, picnic area, and recreational facilities.

Dunningham Park Playground is Getting a Much-Needed Facelift

The once colourful playground at Dunningham Park is officially closed as work has commenced for an impressive facelift of one of South Sydney's most-frequented playgrounds.

Updgrades to the Dunningham Park Playground are part of the Sutherland Shire's Playground Renewal Project, which also includes consultation from the Sutherland Shire community. There's also talk of a brand-new restaurant being built within the existing North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club!

After receiving useful feeback from the community, the Council's plans to rejuvenate Dunningham Park include:

• A new playground tailored to the Cronulla local environment, featuring a central lifeguard tower with climbing and slides
• improved range of play equipment catering to a wider range of ages and suited to all abilities
• larger range of swings
• softfall material and play area
• new seating and picnic tables
• lighting improvements
• landscaping.

Dunningham Park Playground Location & Opening Date

Dunningham Park and Playground is located at Kingsway and Elouera Rd in Cronulla and is set to re-open in June 2024 - we can't wait!
