Madeline Street Reserve playground replacement

Status

We completed the construction in March 2021.

We based the improvements to the playground on the feedback we received from the community. This includes:

The well-loved double swing set, including an infant seat and a senior strap seat, retains its existing location in a cosy nook in the corner of the park.
A new and improved mound that interacts with the landscape providing an adventure hill, a mound slide, bold ground cover plants and part of the ‘circuit’ of the play space.
An upgraded train cubby along with a log carriage providing opportunity for imaginative play.
A variety of nooks for children to gather.
Interactions with nature, balancing and hopping among the trees, rocks and logs to delight and challenge children of all ages and their carers.
Increased access with paved picnic and play surfaces suitable for users with limited mobility.

Other amenities include:
