The like the new draft, it’s nice to see activity for older children as well. I think it will bring more children to the park.

I like the idea of fencing the park off so that it could also double as a dog park.

Would like to see the playground fenced off as its next to a busy road. Will keep the kids safe

Twin mum says:

I would love to see this properly enclosed/ fenced. Not safe next to a busy road for young children we avoid it now for that reason.

A pyramid rope/net tower to cater for older kids aged between 8-15 would be great. Some obstacle course too perhaps?

AG says:

The activity box with slide. The ladder up to the slide needs to have stairs so that a 2 year old could use it with help.

Would love the garden beds to include lots of different native plants, especially if you (or the local wildlife) can forage in them as well

Anon says:

Equipment or activities for older kids. My kids also love the spinning doughnut and will miss it if goes

Add soccor / footy goals etc to the large grassed area. More shady planting.

4 December, 2025

A says:

Add mini in ground trampolines like at other new parks. Add play combination unit like prospered at Ian musgrove park (draw bridge / slide

27 November, 2025

ALB says:

Addition of a basketball court or footy goal posts. Think of the older kids in the neighbour but just the younger children.

Add toilets

26 November, 2025

Belinda says:

More frequent lawn mowing Proper grass not just weeds Shade over play equipment and seats

24 November, 2025

Roger says:

A water and water-bottle refill station, with an option for dogs to drink, such as they have on the path to the Westmeadows Tennis Club.

24 November, 2025

Matt says:

Definitely would like to see more than what is being proposed. It's a large space, so either put in more equipment or let dogs off-leash.

24 November, 2025

Al says:

If there is not going to be any development on the unused side, the grass needs to be kept shorter in the summer, as it is a risk of snakes

24 November, 2025

Mike says:

There needs to be better lights (or even ANY lights) in the park so that it feels safer at night.
