More than just a playground, Lions Park has become a gathering point for Parkes’ community—a space for connection, relaxation, and adventure. Designed to welcome visitors of all abilities, the park reflects the heart of the community while honouring its agricultural heritage.

The transformation of Lions Park was made possible through a close collaboration between Moduplay and Parkes Shire Council. Together, we brought the community’s vision to life, ensuring the design embraced local heritage while prioritising inclusivity and sustainability. This partnership highlights the shared commitment to creating a recreational space that benefits residents and visitors for generations to come.
Through collaboration and innovation, Lions Park is more than a playground—it’s an ode to Parkes’ story, crafted to inspire generations to come.
