Starting last Monday, April 28, the park is undergoing works involving the construction of accessible footpaths, all-abilities car parking near the toilets, shade structures, added seating, signage, public artwork and landscaping.
Moira Shire Council chair administrator Graeme Emonson said the multi-stage project would ensure the facility continues to thrive as a beloved destination for families, locals and tourists for years to come.
“It’s great to see investment going into public spaces that bring value to local families, while also making the region more attractive to visitors. These types of improvements can have long-term economic and social benefits for the community,” Dr Emonson said.
“This is a fantastic example of how partnerships can deliver lasting benefits. By working alongside Berrigan Shire Council and with support from the Office of the NSW Cross-Border Commissioner, we’re creating an improved space that brings people together and encourages tourism in the region.”

Council chief executive officer Matthew Morgan said the project reflected the council’s commitment to improving public spaces for everyone.
“Planning for this upgrade has carefully considered how people currently access the space to ensure there is no impact to current use, while also looking at how we can make it more accessible and safer for people, and ensure it aligns with the natural beauty of the area,” Mr Morgan said.
It follows the successful installation of a new playground and artworks at the park last year.
Parts of the Kennedy Park foreshore will be closed to the public while construction is under way.
