Hillcroft Reserve playspace upgrade - Consultation Feedback

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the Hillcroft Reserve playspace upgrade.

The feedback we received will help us to develop our final design for the playspace and make sure this reserve continues to meet the needs of our local community.

Here's a summary of the feedback we received.

The strengths of the playspace included its:

• New access path and rock staircase
• New picnic table area
• New play equipment and nature play elements
• New basketball pad area

Your suggestions for improving the playspace included:

• Replacing the existing monkey bars due to height issues with minors
• Replacing the existing mound slide due to its narrowness and water pooling issues
• More junior play options
• Consideration for a handrail for steep areas of staircase

Additional items:

We received recommendations to include a BBQ area and waterplay area, however this will not be explored due to the project’s limited budget.

What’s next?

The final design plan is currently being created and will be available later this year.

Construction will take place in early 2025.
