Kids in Vincent (along with mayor Alannah MacTiernan and the council’s Aboriginal consultant Ingrid Cummings) geared up for Naidoc Week by painting the new ping pong table at Weld Square with indigenous motifs this week.
Weld Square, which Vincent council co-named Wongi Park (‘talking place’ in Nyungar), will host a Naidoc concert on Sunday featuring the Bartlett Brothers and Urban Youth Crew, storytime sessions and a free traditional barbecue from midday to 3pm.
Weld Square’s recently been the subject of a council spruce up with new pathways, public furniture, a ping pong table and basketball court going in.
Shortly after the upgrades local copper Mark Stoneman told the Safer Vincent committee they’d had “an astounding impact” on reducing crime and antisocial behaviour.
