SAUMAREZ PARK'S new playground could finally open this weekend.

But some children have not been waiting to play on the new equipment, which has been a concern for the Friends of Saumarez Park Playground committee.

It has been nearly a year since the old equipment was removed from the popular playground to make way for new facilities, funded by donations and fundraising.

Friends chairman Zef Eisenberg said the work on phase one was almost complete.

'Great progress has happened and the park is very nearly ready to open,' he said.

'The biggest frustration has been the heavy rain, which stopped the laying of the grass matting under the zip wire and the granite/hoggin material on the paths.'

He said if everything went smoothly this week, it should be ready to open this weekend.
