Dellfield Reserve Playspace Upgrade
The Dellfield Reserve playspace upgrade is now complete and open to the public.
This project is part of our Parks Improvement Program and was delivered under our 2024/25 Open Space Capital Works Program.
The upgrade includes:
- double tower play unit with a double and a single slide, with a tunnel under
- climbing and scrambling elements
- monkey bar and track ride
- spinner and four- person spring rocker
- triple swing set with basket swing
- double chin up bars
- natureplay including log and rock steppers
- new drinking fountain
- a refurbished basketball pad, backboard and ring
- new concrete footpaths
- upgraded furniture
- additional garden beds
Where is it?
Dellfield Reserve Playground is located at 54- 58 Dellfield Drive in Templestowe Lower.

Why is it needed?
We’re making improvements to this park due to its age and condition, and to ensure the park meets the community’s needs both now and for years to come.
When is it happening?
Community consultation was open feedback from 27 November to 18 December 2024.
How will the works affect me?
The playground will be closed during construction.
Nearby playgrounds include Sinclair Reserve (570 metres away) on Sinclair Avenue, Templestowe Lower or Lynwood Reserve (one kilometre away) on Lynwood Parade, Templestowe Lower.
We will make every effort to minimise any disruption to residents and visitors.
