Name Your Park - Craignish

Fraser Coast residents were invited to help officially name the much-loved Park on the corner of Pialba Burrum Heads Road and Peteresen Road, Craignish.

The Craignish park has evolved over the years and features a BMX/ Pump track, playground, basketball court, walkways, BBQ facilities and an off-leash area for dogs. In recent years the park has undergone several upgrades, including the addition of a new car park and shade over the playground.

It has become a community hub for all ages with opportunities to be physically active or to relax in a green space.

Council resolved at an ordinary meeting to undertake consultation with the local community to determine an appropriate name for the park in line with Council's Parks and Reserves Naming Policy.

Names could include nearby features, region, district, suburb or street. Council will also consider commemorative naming suggestions.

If recommending an individual or family organisation, they should have made a substantial contribution to the area's development or broader region, demonstrated commitment to public service, have community support and maintained a positive reputation.

Council endorsed the name Craignish Park at its August 2024 Council meeting.
