May Update: Playground upgrades commencing soon!
Playground designs have been finalised and the construction of the park upgrade is due to commence in August 2020.
While the park is under construction the park will be closed to the public.
The park is expected to be completed by September 2020
***
Background
Penrith City Council has 148 play grounds across the Local Government Area. Council has a commitment to improve our play grounds and is carrying out an asset renewal program. Stage 1 of the park upgrade was completed in 2018. Stage 2 of the upgrade is required to improve the way the playground and reserve is used by the community. Council is seeking community input to help us deliver the best result for the community.
What is possible in the upgrades?
Some minor play equipment upgrades
new seating
new landscaping
new planting and shade options
pathways
What is not possible in the upgrades?
new location within reserve
playground surface upgrade
new fencing and toilets
water playground or splash pad
How are works being funded?
The parks have been selected based on their condition so are due for renewal (they are at the end of their useful life) Playgrounds are funded through the parks Asset Renewal Program.
What if my local playground isn’t on this list but needs improvements?
Over the next 5 years we will upgrade more than 25 local playgrounds across the Penrith City Council area.
There is a good chance that if your park is looking tired and requiring improvement, it could be next in line for Parks Asset Renewal funding in the coming year(s).
What else is happening in the area?
Regatta Park Upgrade will see a $24 million upgrade delivered by 2022. This project is co-funded by the NSW and Australian Governments and will deliver enhanced event and festival areas, picnic spaces, river terraces, a regional playground for children and potential future dining precinct with expansive river views.
