New playground honours Sharks NRL team at $1 billion community
A new inclusive children’s playground has opened at the $1bn master planned Woolooware Bay community, signalling the finishing line for a project more than a decade in the making.
It comes after local families gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the playground at the Bay Central shopping centre in the Sutherland Shire on July 25.
The Australian developer behind the billion-dollar waterfront complex, Novm and Capital Corporation, said the playground will help foster a “true sense of local community”.

“The opening of this extraordinary playground marks another significant milestone for Woolooware Bay and Cronulla communities, reflecting their unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity, community spirit, and the wellbeing of their children,” Novm CEO Adrian Liaw said.
“It is a testament to the power of collaboration, local expertise, and the shared vision of creating a space where every child can thrive.”

The playground features a giant shark structure to honour the local Cronulla Sharks rugby league club, as well as a nature walk, magical fairy garden, and musical instruments.
“It’s been a joy to work with everyone involved with the delivery of Woolooware Bay’s new park.”
“Success is about integrating inclusion into our daily practices and habits. This commitment starts with the thoughtful design of our public spaces so that children and families feel welcome in everyday activities.”
