2021 will long be remembered as the year that we erected a children’s play are at Northside Mackay Uniting Church.
The are had been fenced for quite a while in advance. A group of us walked 33km around Mackay in March 2020 in order to raise the funds.
Finally the playground equipment was bought as flatpack, and we had a huge day of construction that finished under flood lights, but we got it done.
Some have nicknamed the centre-piece “Hogwarts Tower”, but whatever it makes you think of, the kids LOVE IT!
How did we ever have a church without a playground? As one recent visitor said, “I think every Uniting Church should have one of these!”
