Description

Amelia Tattam, an 18-year-old Canberra local, is rallying to save the iconic Big Splash water park from demolition. Shes joined forces with community groups to keep the park open, especially for young people who love it. The park was shut down by new owners in December, leaving it empty and vulnerable to vandalism. Amelia, who has fond memories of the park, sees it as the heart of Canberra summers. With temperatures soaring and no public cooling spots for families without private pools, the closure feels especially harsh. Amelia envisions reopening it as a community-focused outdoor park and is urging leaders to commit to public recreation on the site before its too late.
