Port Macquarie-Hastings Council sought community feedback on the playground design for the upgrade.
The playground equipment originally shown in the Laurieton Oval draft concept plan changed to cater for an older child age range, as per feedback received from the community.
New features for the playground included a new platform with slide, an asphalt bike/scooter track, timber boats and an interactive timber bridge with sound bells.
The aim of the upgrade was to include the addition of natural play elements, diversity of equipment, and more shade and seating.
A spokesperson said the playground is expected to open to the public by the end of June.
About $80,000 was allocated to the project from the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council 2017/2018 operational plan.
