Funds to shade Lions Park playground

The Forbes community will benefit from more than $40,000 from the Community Building Partnership Program.

In 2023 a maximum of $300,000 was allocated to each electorate in NSW.

Forbes was lucky enough to be awarded more than $40,000 and Phil Donato recently visited to congratulate everyone involved.

Lions Park will see $37,692 go towards some much-needed shade for frequently-used areas of the popular park.

This project will see the installation of shade sails over the play equipment at Lions Park and the waiting area to the front of the cafe also in Lions Park.

The Forbes SSAA were also lucky enough to be awarded money for their project.

From the Community Building Partnership program Forbes SSAA received $5,000 to go towards updating their two clay target throwing machines to replace their 20 year old machines.

Members of the Forbes SSAA love their new machines and Member for Orange Phil Donato even tested them out for himself.
