Project background

In line with Council’s Let’s All Play Strategy, we’re planning to upgrade the playground in Central Park, Concord. The aim is to create a play space that is inclusive and accessible.

We appreciate the value that this park provides to the local and visiting community. We are aiming to open the upgraded playground for the community to use in 2025.

Draft concept design

From 1 April - 12 May 2024 we asked for community feedback on the playground design, location, and accessibility.

Feedback has been used to draft a concept design for the upgrade which incorporates:

• New concrete paths and areas of rubber softfall to improve access to, and around the playground
• New playground furniture including swings, a combination play unit with slides, a climbing net for older kids and a cubby house and toddler play items for younger kids
• A circuit path for scooters and trikes
• New sandstone blocks to provide additional gathering areas and places for sitting
• Additional seating
• An upgraded bubbler
• Retention of shade trees and grass areas
• A new fence to provide protection between the playground and Wellbank Street

We then for feedback on the draft concept design - what you like about it and if anything was missing. Feedback closed on Sunday 1 September 2024 and the draft concept design can be viewed below.

Feedback is now closed.
