Thank you for your contributions

We are currently reviewing the feedback received regarding this upgrade to the Glen Edward Rice Reserve playground and will report the findings soon.

Let's reimagine our local playground together

As part of our 10-year Playground Improvement Plan, we’re improving this pocket playground

and want your feedback to help us get it right.


Concept design

New playground features being considered include:

  • a multi-play unit with slide, swing bridge and monkey bars and more
  • double swing set
  • basket swing
  • accessible trampoline
  • rocker
  • new garden bed to enhance the playground’s look and feel
  • natural elements like stepping stones around the play space

Explore the concept design by selecting the glowing icons on the map and discover more about the fun playground features! Then submit your feedback below to help us finalise the detailed design.

Park Dad says:

Kids love using the binoculars on the current one maybe add some of them. Add a 3rd or 4th swing

Park user says:

I think the park would benefit for a gazebo with public tables and settings and a BBQ so that small family events can be held there

Carly Fowler says:

Please install 2gates to enter from centre road. Its very dangerous and busy road and easy for kids to run, follow a ball if on grass area

Lisa says:

shaded areas are needed for our young ones! They still love to play on hot days, but not if the playground equipment is boiling hot

Meg says:

The balance bridge looks dangerous - like the one that was put in then taken out of Landcox Playground. Little people can easily get hurt

Darren Lord says:

As well as great new equipment for the little ones, having a basketball half court in the west corner would be great for the 10+ year olds.

Could we have a rocker/ animal shaped rocker

Van says:

Add things for young teens. Tennis wall, small weights.. a place for 13 year olds to get off screens close to home. Picnic facilities

Jane says:

More toddler swings as there are never enough (with safety strap included). Steel edges on garden beds, and stepping stones, a hazard.

Amy says:

A bbq and or rotunda. There are a lot of families in the area, a place to meet, set up, play & stay would be grea. General seating too.

R&R mum says:

Equipment more suitable for toddlers would be great. Music elements such as giant xylophone or drums, wind pipes etc.
