Philip Mall playground upgrade

No longer on display. Expired on 27 May 2021, 12:00 AM

This upgrade of this local playground is to create an attractive, engaging and inclusive community place for everyone to enjoy. Community consultation was undertaken to inform the design of the Local playground in August 2020. Council’s landscape architects have developed a concept design in response to the community’s input. This consultation resulted in a variety of differing opinions on inclusions for the upgrade. Council is delivering an inclusive play space based on this feedback.

This playspace is categorised as a local playground catering for residents within walking distance not designed to attract users from much further afield. They are the most common category of playgrounds within the Council and usually intended for shorter stays.

Goals 

Our goal for the upgrade is to create an attractive, engaging and inclusive community place for everyone to enjoy.

It will be a place to meet, play and relax that enhances the local neighbourhood and growing residential community. The concept design for this local park includes:

  • Improve accessibility to area wherever practical
  • Allow inter-generational play components within the space
  • Enhance the naturalistic aspects of the space through the use of natural materials
  • Range of passive, imaginative and active play activities
  • An accessible drinking fountain & seats
  • An accessible picnic setting with shelter
  • A mix of rubber softfall and mulch surfacing
  • Formalised accessible path from existing gate
  • Nature play area

Please note the final plan may undergo some changes as the project continues to progress through the detailed design and construction process.
