According to council, both playgrounds were designed following consultation with the local community to determine their preferences.
At Smith Park, the upgrade includes two slides, climbing structures and the distinctive nest swing. A new picnic area has also been built to provide shade to families.
The play fort, double slides and a picnic shelter with an electric BBQ are among the features of the Grahame Park playground makeover.
In addition to these new playgrounds, work is expected to be completed in August on a $1.5million adventure playground at Blackbutt's Richley Reserve, including various play areas, shelters and new access paths.
Up to five of Newcastle's 119 playgrounds are included annually for upgrade funding through Council's asset renewal works program. Other school holidays activities on offer are available on the council’s website: newcastle.nsw.gov.au.
