New adventure playground a popular choice
The new adventure playground at Wagga Wagga’s Botanic Gardens has been popular with visitors since the Entwine project was completed late last year.
Families with young children in particular have taken advantage of the unique play space during the school holidays.
Wagga Wagga City Council Project Manager Tom Lemerle said the Botanic Gardens precinct has been abuzz with activity.
“It’s a popular area for all ages … there’s the zoo and aviary which is always a great attraction and plenty of recreation areas to enjoy and relax as part of the whole Gardens precinct experience,” Mr Lemerle said.
The Wagga Wagga community is being encouraged to support the city's young creatives while enjoying an evening of art, music and good times at Late Night.

Unlawful shutters placed on Tatton Drain
Wagga Wagga City Council General Manager Peter Thompson has condemned the unlawful erection of shutters on Tatton Drain and says the action may have dashed Council’s hopes for the NSW Government to grant a permanent water solution to Lake Albert.
Mr Thompson said Council became aware today that unknown persons have secretly erected shutters to the culverts on Tatton Drain where it passes under Lake Albert Road.
The Natural Resource Access Regulator (NRAR) has been notified and Council expects it will be issued with a direction to remove the gates.
“We understand that what has been done is unlawful. The NRAR is the regulatory authority and Council will be complying with any direction it receives,” Mr Thompson said.
