Donvale Reserve playspace upgrade
Consultation has concluded.
As part of our Parks Improvement Program, we're upgrading the playspace and installing a brand-new outdoor fitness hub at Donvale Reserve!
Update: 27 February 2024
Construction for the playspace upgrade has begun. Depending on the weather, we expect to complete this project in April 2024.
We have also begun preparing for the toilet upgrade, and the temporary toilet block is available for use. We'll begin construction on the toilet as soon as possible and expect to complete the project in mid-2024.
If you have any questions about the upgrade, please contact us on 9840 9333 or manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au.
About the upgrade
Our goal is to create a more engaging and enjoyable environment for everyone who visits the reserve. The upgrade will include traditional and natural play elements, landscaping, and natural shade. Plus, the new outdoor fitness hub will promote healthy physical activity for visitors of all ages!
Final Design
A second round of consultation was completed in May 2023. After reviewing the feedback of the concept plan the design was modified to include increased play options for junior and senior play, including:
- A new single rocker
- A new mini three seat rocker
- A new Comet spinner
- A larger combination unit with an integrated 3m monkey bar set.
Upgraded Toilet Block
The implementation of the Public Toilet Plan involves delivering new public toilets and refurbishing existing ones. The Toilet block at Donvale Reserve will be upgraded to be safer, gender-inclusive and more accessible with improved footpath connections. We have prioritised this location to be delivered in 2023/24 to align with the playspace upgrade.
