Project Status: Planned
Works are expected to begin in mid-2024 and take 5 months to complete.
Why we’re doing this
We’ve developed a design for the park based on your feedback.
What we’re doing
The upgrade includes:
- relocating the playground to maximise space and improve safety
- a new play structure with steps for toddlers, a slide, deck platform, firepole, climbing challenge and new swing
- a nature play area with timber balance beams, play decks and poles
- retaining existing mature trees and new plant barrier hedges
- removing a small tree which is impacting the growth of an existing mature tree
- a new community space with more seats and tables
- a new water bubbler with dog bowl.
The reserve and playground will be closed during the upgrade.
