Queenspark Reserve play space is an important part of the community that has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be refreshed with modern, fit for purpose play equipment that meets current playground standards.

The play space will be located in the same area as the existing.

We want to create a more inviting space by clearing some vegetation at the front of the park to improve visibility, and upgrade some of the existing park furniture.

We’d like your feedback on the three options below. Once we know which option the community prefers, we'll draw up a landscape plan and share it for consultation later this year.
