The community with the support of Central Council 
Council and State and Federal Government is leading the upgrade of the park in Trafalgar Avenue. Located in Woy Woy and providing a park for the surrounding areas of Woy Woy, Umina Beach and Blackwall, this park had been allowed to deteriorate into almost a desert. In 2015 Umina Community Group started a project to upgrade the park and in 2016 new play equipment was installed and in 2017 a water refill station was added . In in 2017 mass planting, landscaping and further equipment was installed.
The park also has a very interesting history as it sits on what was the a World War II Airfield and runway. With this fantastic historical perspective in mind the park has now been officially renamed “The Runway” . Steve Spillard one of the brilliant local historians we have, has brought to life this history with his facebook and blog articles on this colourful period in our recent past.
We are currently looking into grants to install 4 information signs covering the history of the Airfield. We hope to have them installed in 2022 to further engage the community in the history of the park.
