Nature Playspace - Wilfred Taylor Reserve

Hello there

I have 4 little grandchildren who love the playground age ranging from 1 year to 5 years old. these play areas seem a little too old for them. is there going to be anything like an old fashioned swing set, slippery dip???

Also there seems to be only one toilet block down one end, if you want to attract more people and children here more restrooms may be a good idea.

Apart from that it looks great!!

I would like serious consideration given to the commencement of this upgrade considering traffic accessing states road is already restricted to 40 and is particularly slow during school times. I recommend starting once the states road upgrade is complete and there are no traffic restrictions in this area. Management in timing would be helpful to all who navigate through this area to avoid unhappy residents and road users.

I would love to see an area for our dogs to run around in that it's also stimulating. Not just a grassed area fenced in. Something along the lines of Aberfoyle where there are agility obstacles too.

Not too mention a space where the kids can kick a footy or throw a frisbee around or clammer over an adventure playground. With unisexed toilets/changing room and bbq areas.

Maybe consider depending on space a skate/bike ramp.

What a lovely playground! 

Will it be fenced? 

Considering you have planned for disabled parking, I would hope the park is completely accessible to disabled people in wheelchairs.  Adequate pathways, toilets, changing facilities, a wheelchair swing. The sensory garden should have things at waist height so these people can reach, touch and  be included in the experience of such a big park.

I think this is a great use of the space and exactly what is needed for the area. 

I do however feel there should also be an enclosed area for toddlers to play and explore safety with out parents having to run after them all the time.

Also a kids bike safety park would be a great addition to the area. With roundabouts and traffic signs etc. 

Sound amazing .!!! We have 3 kids and 2 dogs.! It’s our favourite spot to go every time .. can’t wait for this project to be finish . Love the idea of making it more connected to nature for kids . Hope the project will start soon and finish soon .!!! 

I am so pleased that the council is going to utilise this area it will be great to be able to take the kids some where close to home where they can explore and have fun 

It would be great to have lots of different play learning areas for all different ages 

It would also be great if they could up grade the very tiny park on wheatsheaf road and albert tce also this area is a waste of space with lots of potential that could be built here where parents can take their children 

Can we have a fenced in area for dogs to be unleashed like in Aberfoyle Park? Also Bbq an toilet facilities would be great. Good work guys 👍

I am really pleased that the reserve will have a nature playground and the distinct play areas connected with pathways sound fabulous.  I cannot wait for it to be completed.  It is such a beautiful area and this is fantastic use of the space.
