New park is music to our ears

Local kids have a new place to play after a unique, musical playground opened at Yarra’s Edge in December.

Harmony Garden at Point Park features 16 gongs, 19 instrumental bells and three percussion drums.

The wider park also includes swings, slides, a carousel, a sand pit and water features.

Yarra’s Edge developer Mirvac officially opened the playground on December 1, allowing families to enjoy the new park over the summer.

Mirvac’s head of residential John Carfi said Harmony Garden was a fun and unique way to bring children and adults together.

“The Harmony Garden allows people to create music from their surrounding environment, by themselves or with new friends they might meet at the park,” Mr Carfi said.
