We’re upgrading the playground at Norway Reserve in Canterbury due to its age and condition. 

About the upgrade

This playground upgrade aims to:

  • build a playground which meets the needs of children and families into the future
  • improve accessibility
  • offer a range of fun play experiences that caters to a range of ages and abilities.

Key features of the new playground include: 

  • a castle-themed play unit with a double slide, tube slide, fire pole and activity panels
  • a basket swing, toddler swing and sling seat
  • an accessible carousel
  • an adventure trail with climbing ropes, monkey bars and balance activities
  • a horse rocker.

Other features to be included in the wider playground space include:

  • improved platform seating overlooking the playground
  • a new picnic table setting
  • accessible surfaces connecting the footpath to the playground.

Community consultation

We invited our community to share feedback to help guide the design for the new playground.

We received feedback over 2 rounds of consultation in late-2024 and early-2025. Thank you to everyone who had their say.

You can find out what our community told us and view the final design on our Norway Reserve playground upgrade page on Your Say Boroondara.
