Proposed new playspace
We have developed a concept design incorporating the feedback given previously in this project.
The proposal for the playspace includes a drinking fountain, seating, slides, swing set, footpath, softfall, landscaping and surrounding fence. There will be improved access from street parking with the inclusion of a new concrete path.
We invited you to provide feedback on the playspace design, which will be used to finalise the plans.

Council uses the word playspace, instead of playground because it covers more than the equipment. It reflects the wide range of users, age groups and experiences of the community in the space.
This survey is looking for your feedback on how to improve this playspace for the future. If you need to report damaged or missing playspace equipment or any other playspace issues/concerns about other playspaces in Yarra Ranges, please Report an issue with a playspace Yarra Ranges Council.
The existing playspace will be renewed in line with the recommendations within the Playspace Plan 2019-2029. As this is a local-level playspace, large infrastructure such as water play, public toilets, shelters and BBQ's along with formal skate and bike activity spaces cannot be accommodated in the scope of these works.
