Heritage Park’s highly anticipated Gigadome is now open, offering a new level of adventure and excitement for families in Lismore and the surrounding region. This unique addition to the park is designed for children aged five and above, focusing on engaging older kids with its innovative and challenging play features.
The Gigadome, with its towering semi-spherical design, provides an array of climbing, balancing and interactive features unlike anything previously seen in the region.
Another standout feature is the Clifftop Rider, which offers children an exciting experience high above the ground. This adds to the park’s appeal and makes it a must-visit destination for families.
Lismore Mayor Steve Krieg praised the new playground additions, highlighting how important this investment is to the community.
‘Heritage Park has always been a favourite destination for families, and investing in the Gigadome takes it to the next level,’ he said. ‘It’s fantastic to see kids of all ages enjoying play equipment that is not only fun but also encourages physical activity and creativity.
‘What sets the Gigadome apart is the uniqueness of the play structures. The design was carefully chosen to offer something truly special for our community. This is a space where children can challenge themselves, have fun and create lasting memories.’
New dimension
State Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin thanked the Lismore City Council for its commitment to continuously improving Heritage Park.
‘This is a great family and child-friendly park and has long been the go-to for free fun birthday celebrations,’ she said. ‘The new Gigadome adds another dimension of fun to the heart of Lismore.’
The park’s rainforest-themed design complements its natural surroundings, ensuring that the new play area enriches Heritage Park’s charm and character.
Lismore City Council says the latest upgrades build on the park’s reputation as a family-friendly hub, complementing recent additions such as the water play area, toddler equipment and a new path and seating area.
The project, which included installing shade structures for younger children at the Tiny Tots play area, soft-fall surfaces, a path, and landscaping, was entirely funded by the NSW government under the Stronger Country Communities Fund for a total of cost $798,121.
