FAQs
Will the existing Basketball pad be upgraded?
As part of the Hillcroft Reserve playspace upgrade, we're proposing a brand-new basketball pad. The current one is small and located in too close proximity to the existing playground.
The proposed basketball pad is being relocated further west to provide more room for play and further separation from the playground.
Will the existing timber staircase be replaced?
Yes the existing timber staircase will be replaced due to its poor weathered condition.
The concept design proposes a new rock staircase that is hard hearing and expands from the current location, extending further down the hill linking it to the playspace and Hillcroft Drive.
When will the proposed upgrade take place?
Construction is expected to begin in September 2024 and is expected to take around two months to complete.
This schedule is subject to weather and contractor availability.
Will any of the existing play equipment be retained?
Two play pieces will be retained and refurbished as part of the upgrade. These two units are the existing monkey bar set and mound slide.
