New accessible parking bays at May Park

Published on 22 June 2018

Visiting Horsham’s May Park will soon be more convenient for everyone with works on two accessible parking bays to start this week.

As part of the final stage of revitalisation works, one additional accessible bay will be created and another existing park is to be upgraded.

Recent improvements at the popular park have included a new amenities block, complete with a state of the art Changing Places facility to cater for people with severe to profound disabilities.

The playground area has also undergone a significant upgrade with the provision of new equipment to cater for children of all abilities and new rubber soft fall paths will provide improved access for children, parents, carers and grandparents.

Horsham Rural City Council Community Development Manager Anne Donovan said the final part of the project was providing accessible parking that met current standards.

“The existing accessible bay on May Park Terrace will be widened and lengthened to provide safe access from vehicles and a new standard size accessible park will be created adjacent,” Ms Donovan said.

People who use the new parking bays will require a valid disabled parking permit.

Works will start at the northern end of May Park Terrace this week.
