Luna Park Turns 87

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, I want to acknowledge the recent 87th birthday of Luna Park on the 4th of October. Luna Park is an icon of Sydney Harbour's foreshore and is a very special part of the local North Shore community. Thousands flock every year to travel through the iconic face at the park's entry and be transported back in time to play carnival games, enjoy rides, and visit the famous Coney Island. While the Park has seen multiple upgrades and refurbishments, its heritage is still rich and very much alive. The park has provided so much joy to so many people over the past 87 years, both locally and beyond, and I am sure it will continue to do the same for many generations to come. I want to congratulate new Chief Executive John Hughes, and former park managers Peter Hearne and Warwick Doughty for all of their hard work in keeping our much‑loved Luna Park running. I extend my congratulations to all the staff of the park for their dedication and hard work in keeping Luna Park the funnest place in Sydney!
