Will the shade sails be replaced?
Yes. The current alignment will be retained and new shade sails and posts will be installed. Existing trees will be protected during construction to ensure that the tree canopy is retained and six new native trees will be installed to provide additional long-term shade.
Will there be universal access and accessible play elements?
Yes, however, the playground provides limited accessible play opportunities. Access to the playground is via rubber softfall or over mulch. Access to picnic shelter, bike and scooter rack, water fountain and bin is via a concrete path.
Will the toilets get a refresh?
No, changes to the toilets are not included in the playground renewal. The existing toilets will remain in situ.
