TWO major projects have been completed at Mapleton Lilyponds Park, delivering improved facilities and accessibility for the local community.
Sunshine Coast Council has finalised a $480,000 upgrade that includes a brand-new multi-use half court and a refurbished toilet block.
The new half court, positioned near the playground and skate park, features line markings for basketball, netball and pickleball, as well as sandstone seating and landscaping to create a welcoming space for recreation and social gatherings.
Division 10 Councillor David Law said the upgrades were guided by strong community input.
“We heard the call for better accessibility and more recreational options, and we’ve delivered,” Cr Law said. “The new amenities are modern, inclusive and future-ready, and the half court is already proving popular with young people and families.”
The upgraded amenity building now includes a unisex accessible (PWD) cubicle, an ambulant unisex cubicle and a standard unisex cubicle, along with a new accessible pathway linking the car park to the facility.
Council thanked the Mapleton community for its patience and support, highlighting the project as part of its ongoing commitment to creating inclusive public spaces.
