CLOSED: This survey has concluded.One of the key elements of the Wellington Square Masterplan is the creation of an Intergenerational Playground.Whilst traditionally playspaces in the past were considered the domain of young children, the current best practice across the world is creating welcoming fun playspaces that everyone in the community can enjoy. Whether you are a parent with young children, a teenager, young adult or older member of the community, being able to recreate and have fun is a key focus of this iconic destination space. It is therefore important that we hear from people of all ages and having those not normally associated with playspaces contribute to its design.The City of Perth is inviting you to have your say!The survey closes at 5pm on Thursday 2 May 2019.
