Project background

As part of our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible play spaces for the community, we undertook a $150,000 upgrade to the playground in Henley Park, Concord. The upgrade included new children's play equipment, improved seating and fencing.

We are sought feedback from the community in November 2020 to help shape the new playground. Feedback was used to develop the playground design, which can be viewed below. This concept design was shared with the community in April/May 2021 for further feedback before construction commenced.
