The basketball court needs to be further away from Bateman street, behind the playground.The net won't stop every ball rolling onto the road

Renee says:

A full path around the park, more seating on opposite side & more shade for the middle of the play area. Maybe flying fox instead of spinner

14 June, 2024

Renee says:

Dog area, Flying fox & Toilet is a good idea as mentioned by others. (Westmeadows oval public toilet is too far for people out of the area)

Renee says:

The enclosed/tube/tunnel slides are dangerous bc u can't see the child. My son once received a neck injury going down one. Straight is safer
