On Saturday 4 November 2023, Mason Green Park (also known as Guerin Park) in Piara Waters was ravaged by fire, destroying the children's playground, the boardwalk through the natural areas, and causing significant damage to the large paperbark next to the playground. Thanks to the quick work of local residents and DFES, the fire was contained later that afternoon and the City was able to begin to assess the damage on Sunday 5 November.
Extensive damage was caused to the park, including to the trees and vegetation, boardwalks, playground and equipment, irrigation, and other items like pathways and playground fencing. The City has worked hard to rehabilitate the area and prepare it for rejuvenation, engaging specialists including structural engineers and an independent tree specialist to assess the damaged trees and make recommendations on the best way to care for them.
We are now going to be starting work on replacing the boardwalk, making the park more accessible for people with limited mobility, strollers, and bikes - keeping foot traffic off of the fragile vegetation, wetlands and reducing habitat disturbance.
