Bright Water - Drink fountain and Solar lighting for George Humes Park

FUNDING REQUIRED $8,000

George Humes Park commemorates George Humes, an Indigenous man who promoted reconciliation in the area in the 1940s. He would be delighted to know that our project will invite participation from the whole of community to make it happen and benefit the whole community.

The park, next to Willagee Library, needs cheering up and making more user friendly. We would like to start by having a water fountain installed there, as there is nowhere for all the kids, parents and others to get a drink of fresh water, while there. The fountain would have a splash bowl, so dogs out for a walk can have a drink too. Once it is installed, our local community will do some landscaping around it to make the fountain look terrific!

We would also like to install some robust solar lighting. There are many people still around central Willagee after sunset, visiting the nearby library, Community Centre and dance studios and we want them to feel safe when sitting in or moving around their park. On hot summer evenings, the park is a pleasant place to rest, and the lighting will improve both the look and safety of the park.

Please vote for our project. Thank you!
