The playspace in Gilmour Street Reserve will undergo an exciting upgrade next year, with the final design now complete.

Council consulted with the community to find out what they want to see in their new playspace and used this feedback to develop the design.

We heard that the community wants a range of modern play equipment with a focus on climbing, swinging, sliding and inclusive equipment.

In response to this feedback, the design features a multi-play unit with climbing equipment and two slides, and a swing set with a basket swing and toddler swing. An accessible rocker, mini bike path, play shop front and low balance beam with hopping logs have also been included.

Shade, picnic tables and seating are also important to the community, so we’ve included a shaded picnic table, bench seating, and will retain the existing shade sail.

The local mosaic artwork will remain in the reserve. Softfall and new pathways are also included in the design.

This project is funded by the NSW Government through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program.
