We are renewing the playground at the southern end (Moore Road) with new equipment and surfacing, including:

• new play structure for toddlers
• new swing set with standard, toddler & basket seats
• dune buggy spring rocker
• new synthetic grass safety surfacing
• slight repositioning of playground and path as outlined in the masterplan.

The playground will be of a similar size to the existing, and will meet current Australian Standards.

Works will commence Tuesday 4 November and will likely be completed in early December (subject to weather and contractor availability).

Installation of the replacement equipment at the larger playground near Kooloora Avenue will follow soon after.
