As a Manningham resident with two young children I have been dissapointed in the neglect of our local park on Romilly St.
When the basketball courts were removed over 2 years ago the Port Adelaide Enfield council failed to replace the courts with grass leaving a paddock of weeds. Furthermore the playground equipment that was replaced was very basic. The BBQ area is also in a very poor state.
When my oldest daughter started playing tennis I thought it would be great to access the under utilised but excellent courts located at the same Park. After a visit to the Greenacres council office I found out that the ratepayers now had to book and pay for access to their OWN courts.
If you compare our park with neighbouring councils e.g. Prospect our parks come of as a very poor cousin. In fact they provide a stark contrast.
That we as ratepayers of Manningham and Hampstead Gardens demand that the Port Adelaide & Enfield Council;
a.) ensure the current playground, BBQ and grassed area (or lack of) be upgraded in the next twelve months.
b.) ensure that residents once again get free access to their courts.
