Your Say

You told us that the park is currently used mostly for the playground, for exercise, dog exercise and to rest and relax.

We have now finalised the design for the park and prioritised the additional factors requested from the local community.

Here’s what we heard through the consultation that we are either already incorporating or now considering (pending budget):

• Changes to the playground equipment including removal of the song gongs
• Additional tree planting
• Repositioning the gum leaf pod playhouse so that it is further away from houses
• Dog bowl on the drinking fountain.

Here’s what was requested, but will not be included as they are outside of the service standard for a local family park:

• Public toilet
• BBQ
• Bike track
• Fenced off playground or dog area.
