Nature Playspace - Wilfred Taylor Reserve
NATURE PLAYSPACE COMING SOON
It's full steam ahead for the nature playspace at the Wilfred Taylor Reserve in Morphett Vale with the final concept design now complete. Construction of the playspace is due to commence later in the year and we will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
You can view the final concept design and learn more about the journey so far in the Document Library.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OUTCOMES
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our final concept design. The feedback has been analysed and incorporated into the final design.
Approximately 70% of those who responded were happy or very happy with the concept. Positive comments praised the design for its unique features and variety of play for different ages and abilities, with people generally looking forward to it being completed.
The majority of those not in support were concerned with the shade or heat of the steel slides. We have listened and have changed the slides to plastic and will plant more trees.
You can review the results in the in the Document Library.
PLAYSPACE FEATURES
The playspace aims to encourage people of all ages to explore, roam and enjoy this wonderful natural environment.
It offers distinct play areas that are connected through a network of pathways which include:

The playspace is being planned and designed in context of the Wilfred Taylor Master Plan Project which is running in parallel. Click here to view information about the Master Plan project.

Dog & Family space
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.

Fencing
What a lovely playground!
Will it be fenced?
-
Playground inclusion
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.

Wilfred taylor reserve playgroub up grade
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

Dog Park
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 👍

Gorgeous gum trees
I live nearby and my dog always leads me to the park. It is wonderful to live near so many beautiful old gum trees. I hope they survive in the plans to make a new playground. My neighbour recently told me that water was redirected from the park to the golf course years ago. Is this true or idle gossip. I hope the water could be sent back to the trees please!
