A new playground on Park Street has now opened to the community with swings, a scramble net, slide, tunnel and more.
The works were part of a bigger park renewal project across the City with the design informed by extensive community consultation.
Consultation found that the predominate demographic who used the playground was 0-5 years olds with ‘climbing’ and ‘swinging’ coming out on top for children’s favourite elements of play.
A focus on natural elements and textures was important to the community along with traditional style of playground.
The playground concept was designed with fun activities in mind while also providing important opportunities for the growth and development of physical and social skills of children.
The existing trees, seat and garden beds have all been retained.
