Park sale would be 'long term loss for the community'
Tree-planting group Grow Urban Shade Trees took part in a protest on May 8 to keep the park at 85 Brisbane Ave, Umina, in council ownership.
Group member Ms Michelle Chandler said the protest was to "tell Central Coast Council that our pocket parks and green spaces have more than just dollar value".
"Selling them is short term gain for them, but long term loss for us, the community," she said.
"Moreover, the effort to replace the lost habitat will cost more in energy and resources in the long term anyway.
"We should know."
