Construction to begin on upgrade at Ladbury Avenue playspace

26 August 2025

An upgrade of the playspace at Ladbury Avenue Reserve, Penrith, will begin in September 2025.

The final design for the playspace was developed in consultation with the community, who shared their feedback on what they wanted to see in their new playspace last year.

The community requested climbing, sliding, swinging and imaginative equipment. This has been considered in the design, which features:

  • swing set with basket swing, toddler swing and strap swing
  • multi-play unit with climbing equipment and two slides
  • accessible buggy rocker
  • a ‘whizzy dizzy’
  • balance trail
  • mini bike trail with play road signs
  • play shop front
  • sensory panels

We’ve also included a shaded picnic table, bench seating, pathways, softfall and landscaping in the design.

The existing shade sail and drinking fountain will be retained in the upgrade.

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