The final stage of the playground features an inclusive carousel suitable for wheelchairs and a two-seat swing with baby harness and inclusive swing units.
Northern Midlands mayor Mary Knowles OAM said it was important to provide facilities to children and adults with a disability so that they can be included and not feel left out from the "joys and delight of using a playground".
"We have been determined to be able to provide something suitable for those with a disability since the commencement of the playground and we are so pleased to see the final stage include not only one, but two pieces," Cr Knowles added.
