On the morning of 14 December 2024, I had the absolute delight of attending the official opening of the new playspace in Hill Top. Located in the heart of the village on West Parade, this wonderful park is set to become a favourite community hub. Congratulations to Hill Top Community Association [HTCA] for their incredible perseverance and hard work in securing funding through the Australian Government's Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Fund and additional support from Wingecarribee Shire Council. It was great to see many families and locals, representatives from the village store and shops, representatives from the Australian Government, the Rotary Club of Bowral-Mittagong, and staff and councillors from Wingecarribee Shire Council—all vital contributors to this success. HTCA continues to amaze me with their dedication, positivity, and teamwork. Their efforts make Hill Top a fantastic place to live and raise a family. A big well done to the Council teams who made this project a reality. It was impressive to see kids enjoying their first runs in the park, and I hope that the community explores the new playspace, which has something for everyone.
