Duggan Plains Park
Townsville City Council is committed to providing parks, sporting fields and recreation areas with facilities that promote the well-being of our city.
As part of our commitment, the Council is undertaking early planning for the future playground renewal at Duggan Plains Park, Alligator Creek.
About the project
Duggan Plains Park is a significant community asset located approximately 25 kilometers south of Townsville City. This rural locality boasts various club facilities, including the Alligator Creek Pony Club, Community and Sports Club, and the Alligator Creek Lions Club. A proposed redesign aims to enhance the park's functionality and appeal by co-locating the playground equipment with the picnic facilities, forming a Local Node within the park's overall layout.
For further information on what a local node in Duggan Plains can offer, please refer to the Local Recreation Park in the accompanying factsheet.
Although the Council has yet to adopt this project into a future budget, community feedback will help prioritise it and identify potential future grant applications and funding opportunities.
