A new inclusive playground, featuring a tall nature themed play tower
We asked the community for feedback to influence the concept design for Berwick Springs West Playground. Previous community engagement highlighted the following elements that would be preferred in the future design:
- Swings, slides, climbing and balancing equipment
- Fencing with child-safe gate
- Shade, seating and tables
Based on the feedback we received, a draft concept plan has been designed for the existing playground.
As Melbourne Water owns the land, the upgraded playspace area is limited to the existing footprint. The design, therefore, has utilised vertical space for play with the installation of the tall, nature-themed tower, which has many play elements.
The community were invited to view the draft concept design and provide feedback on the proposed design.
