As a mother of young children living in Kyabram, I see the need for more family-friendly recreational facilities in our town. A splash park at our local pool would not only benefit my family but also attract visitors from surrounding areas, enhancing our community's vibrancy and economic vitality.

Currently, there are limited options for safe and enjoyable water play within our locality. The addition of a splash park could fill this gap effectively. According to the Australian Water Safety Council, such facilities can significantly contribute to water safety education for children while providing an engaging recreational space (Australian Water Safety Strategy 2016-2020).

Moreover, similar projects have proven successful elsewhere. For instance, the introduction of a splash park in Shepparton saw an increase in visitor numbers by 20% within its first year (Greater Shepparton City Council Annual Report 2018). This indicates that such an initiative could potentially boost local tourism and business activity.

Therefore, we call upon the relevant authorities to consider establishing a splash park at our local pool here in Kyabram. It's time we provide more opportunities for families to enjoy outdoor activities together while promoting water safety education among young ones.

Please sign this petition if you believe that every child deserves access to fun and safe water play spaces right here in their own community!
