Playground Upgrade - Langman Recreation Reserve, Burnside

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 playgrounds in Langman Recreation Reserve. To assist in developing a design for these playgrounds, Council is seeking your opinion on what equipment should be installed and whether you still prefer the playgrounds split into two locations, or consolidated to one site.

About the playground

The Langman Recreation Reserve is located between Waterfall Gully Road and Wyatt Road in Burnside. At the northern end of the reserve is a small playground aimed at children of all ages and consisting of a double swing set and two see-saws on pine chip mulch. At the southern end is a larger playground consisting of a double swing set, a nest swing, a double sphere rope climbing frame, a rocker, and a tree-themed play unit consisting of a rope climber, some steps and a slide. This playground is aimed at children 6-12 years and is also on pine chip softfall.

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.
