What I like

9 December, 2025

Ryder says:

The shared path through the reserve is useful to avoid Mickleham Road. (Just a shame you have to eventually come back to Mickleham Road.)

Vanessa says:

The potential upgrade to the park is amazing. Thank you

Julie and Peta Law says:

I like that the children's play spaces are being upgraded for inclusion and the future. Most importantly, no green space is being altered.

Great idea, we have BBQ area and seating, basketball and netball court, play equipment, and water station, It's been excited for an upgrade

Maybe a small and larger playground for big and small kids. Definitely a bbq space and under cover seating. Can't wait!

What I'd change

9 December, 2025

Ryder says:

The gravel connecting section of Moonee Ponds Creek Trail should be sealed.

8 December, 2025

Chantal says:

It would be good to have some shelter with seating & water for kids/dogs.

7 December, 2025

Vanessa says:

Would it be possible to also include an outdoor adult gym (not the old person one). So parents can get some exercise whilst kids playing

4 December, 2025

Anon says:

Sheltered space for parents/guardians to sit under on warmer days. Would love to see native plants in the garden beds for the wildlife.

19 November, 2025

SD says:

BBQ area with seating and basketball ring! Much needed!

18 November, 2025

Alicia says:

Hillcrest Estate has no sport spaces or a basketball ring, leaving children with nothing local. For fair access, please add basketball ring.

17 November, 2025

SkyeM says:

Basketball court/ring

17 November, 2025

Anji says:

Please change the slide and put in a bigger one that attaches to a long circuit i.e for balancing, climbing etc. Perhaps put in a gym area

16 November, 2025

B says:

Taking residents backing the reserve into consideration - for eg. Basketball courts etc can be disruptive.

Zeljka says:

I would like it to be assembled to disability children I have a son who has down syndrome and finds it hard using some of the equipment

15 November, 2025

Jono says:

Basket area

Ben says:

I would like to see a community garden, possibly a few planter boxes for herbs and the like. BBQ area with some covered seating.
