A grand opening for Huntlee Park

Published on 15 September 2022

Cessnock City Council is proud to announce the opening of Huntlee Park and is inviting the community to come and celebrate its opening and explore this new community facility.

To celebrate the occasion, a fun morning of activities has been organised at the park after the opening ceremony at 9am. Activities will include a petting zoo, a reptile talk, face painting, balloon twisting, boutique market stalls, food vendors, a make-your-own beeswax food wrap workshop, and a stunt clown with giant bubbles as well as performances by Hunter Heroes.

The new play space includes a flying fox, custom built barbecue area with a shelter and inbuilt seating. It also features tall cube play towers, which are unique to the park.

“It is great to see this park open to our growing community and I am looking forward to celebrating this wonderful new park space,” Mayor Jay Suvaal said.

“The park offers something for children of all ages and abilities and I am sure it will become a place for locals to come together to enjoy all it has to offer.”

The Huntlee Park opening will be held on 16 October, between 9am and 1pm, at Huntlee Park, 1 Triton Boulevard, North Rothbury.

This event has been organised by the Huntlee Community Liaison Officer and supported by Cessnock City Council’s Economic Development team with funding from the Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events Program.
