Transforming Muriel Henchman Park: A Collaborative Upgrade for the Gold Coast

20/01/2025

The Gold Coast community has long cherished Muriel Henchman Park as a hub for recreation and connection. Glascott Landscape & Civil is proud to have played a vital role in its recent transformation, delivered in collaboration with principal civil contractor, Ertech.

This iconic park has been reimagined into a functional and inviting space, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of the community now and into the future. The upgrades provide a safer, more efficient environment for boating and recreation while enhancing the park’s overall usability and aesthetic appeal.

Key Upgrades Include:

A larger boat ramp to accommodate increasing demand.
Improved parking facilities and upgraded pathways for accessibility.
New shelters and landscaping to enhance the visitor experience.

The Glascott team delivered a wide range of hard and soft landscaping works to bring the vision to life, including:

Hard Landscaping: Concrete seating walls, beach access stairs, pavements, access gates, rails, fencing, and signage (informational, regulatory, and interpretive).
Amenities: New picnic tables, beach showers, and drinking fountains to enhance functionality and comfort for park users.
Soft Landscaping: Comprehensive planting, bio-retention works, turfing, and ongoing maintenance to create a vibrant, sustainable green space.

We’re honoured to contribute to the legacy of Muriel Henchman Park by creating a space that balances functionality and beauty, ensuring it remains a treasured part of the Gold Coast’s recreational offerings.

In collaboration with Ertech, our team and partners delivered a quality result for Gold Coast Waterways Authority. We look forward to continuing to build spaces together that inspire, connect, and serve communities for generations.
