Playground Upgrade - Knightsbridge Reserve, Leabrook

Council is planning to upgrade this playground and would appreciate feedback on what features you might like to see installed.

The opportunity

Council’s Playground Replacement Action Plan 2014-2024 has prioritised a number of playgrounds within our City for upgrade in upcoming financial years, including the playground in Knightsbridge Reserve.

To assist in developing a design for this playground, Council is seeking your opinion on what equipment should be installed.

About the playground

The Knightsbridge Reserve playground is located on the corner of Rochester Street and Philip Avenue in Leabrook and is nominated for use by children in the 0-6 year age range. The playground currently consists of a double swing set, four-seat rocker, two spring rockers, a play unit with steps, ladders, ramp, slide and climbing frame and a truck shaped play unit. The softfall is pine chip mulch.

Potential features

Council seeks your opinion on the features you would like in the playground. These include equipment for:

• swinging

• natural play

• rocking

• sliding

• spinning

• balancing

• bouncing

• climbing

• interactive elements

• themed play

• cubbies

Your responses to this survey will guide Council on planning for future upgrades of the playground.

When will works begin?

The results of this survey will be reviewed and incorporated, where possible, into a landscape design for this play space. The results of the consultation and construction timeframes will be communicated to local residents before installation work commences. We anticipate works for this project will occur in the 2023-2024 financial year.
