In 2025, we’re upgrading the McArthur Street Park playground – keeping many of the elements people love and adding in some new equipment to make the play experience even better.

Last year we asked for feedback on a draft concept design and what we heard has helped us refine and finalise the playground upgrades.

View the snapshot to see what the community told us.

Budget constraints has meant we’ve had to revise the original planned upgrades, but the final design still delivers exciting improvements to this already popular play space.

Catering for toddlers and children, look out for new tall and small combination play units, swings, a basket swing and carousel. The famous pencils are staying and we’ll be adding more seating and lots of new plantings.

Our thanks to everyone who contributed feedback and for your interest in this important community asset improvement project.

This brings to a close the community consultation phase of this project.

To make your views count have your say by Tuesday 10 September.

We know this is a much-loved local playground and want to make sure we create a new playground that retains the style and elements the community loves and delivers improvements that will be enjoyed for many years.

With your help we can do it.
