Park upgrades

Each year up to 4 playgrounds are included in the annual playground replacement works program. Playgrounds are selected and identified from an annual playground safety audit we undertake on all our playground sites across the City. From this safety audit every playground is given a condition rating which determines its priority within our renewal program.

Please see link below to find out more about the current scheduled playgrounds.
