Help us name popular park in Craignish
Fraser Coast residents are being encouraged to help officially name a much-loved park in Craignish.
Cr Michelle Govers said the park on the corner of Pialba-Burrum Heads Road and Petersen Road in Craignish had undergone several upgrades in recent years, including the addition of a new car park and shade over the playground.
“The Craignish park has evolved over the years and features a BMX track, playground, basketball court, walkways, BBQ facilities and an off-leash area for dogs where small dogs can be kept separate from big dogs,” she said.
“It has become a community hub for all ages with opportunities to be physically active or to relax in a green space.
“Now Council needs your help in choosing an appropriate name for the park. We’re looking for a name that reflects the park’s character, location, and community values.
“Whether it’s inspired by nearby landmarks, the history of our region, or something commemorative, we want to hear your creative suggestions in line with Council’s Parks and Reserves Naming Policy.
“If you recommend an individual, family, or organisation, they should have made a substantial contribution to the area’s development or broader region, demonstrated commitment to public service, had community support, and maintained a positive reputation.
“It’s fantastic to see how local families have embraced this park and we’re looking forward to officially naming it to reflect the community’s ideas.”
