Livvi's Place Cootamundra
Overview
Livvi’s place in Cootamundra is one of NSW’s best and newest inclusive play spaces. Livvi’s place is a large fully fenced and 100 percent accessible park featuring selected play equipment to encourage kids to play actively, imaginatively and socially.
The park is an oasis for everyone regardless of ability or age with a number of exciting things to discover. The park includes sensory items (music, lights, touch and texture), water play, grassy areas, pathways and equipment that can be accessed by prams, wheelchairs and walkers.
Parents are also taken care of with shaded picnic tables to kick back and relax, as well as free barbeques to cook up a feast for lunch! Livvi’s place was an initiative by the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council in partnership with the Touched by Olivia Foundation, Federal and State Government and the Community.
