As part of our annual playground renewal program, we are planning to upgrade the following playspaces in 2023/24:
- Kent Park, Ferntree Gully
- Castlefield Square, Wantirna
- Val Boyd Reserve, Ferntree Gully
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback for your local playground renewals. The designs for the new playspaces have been finalised, to see the final design please refer to the links below.
Construction will commence in early 2024.
Update
Works to improve the playground at Sovereign Crest Reserve, Rowville have been delayed. They will now take place in the upcoming 2024/25 financial year. We have arranged for temporary play equipment to be installed until the new playspace project is delivered.
