Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of this Assembly that the playground at Fadden Hills Pond has its major play feature, the tower, boarded up, as has been the case for at least a decade. This central structure leaves the playground with its major feature as a dangerous, unsafe eyesore. Further, it takes up space that could be otherwise used for another piece of recreational equipment. The existing materials could be recycled and reconfigured to provide a viewing platform for the duck pond which has been recently refurbished to provide an exceptional recreational facility. The quality of the pond makes the towers all the more incongruous within that setting.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the Government to improve Fadden Hills Pond Playground by:
a. removing the tower
b. replacing it with another useful piece of play equipment.
