Glenbrook District Park Playground – Stage 2
Glenbrook Park is receiving a new inclusive, accessible, interactive extension to the play area catering for seven to 12 year olds.
Plans have now been finalised for the design of this new playground!
We received more than 600 submissions via our Funbobulator - an online tool to select playground equipment - as well as submissions via a pop-up event at the park. Thanks to the community for contributing to the final design of the park!
New features include a:
- 5.4-metre climbing rope tower with tunnel slide
- 20-metre double flying fox with two seats including one for smaller children or those needing support
- five additional swings including a multi-person nest swing for those who need back support
- two trampolines, one large enough for a wheelchair
- monkey bars
- timber balance trail, and
- a range of sensory and imagination-stimulating components.
The play equipment will be surrounded by soft fall rubber, seating and picnic tables, as well as accessible pathways. There will be extensive shade and new tree plantings, and a new entrance features recycled elements with the old transport theme. The playground will also be fenced.
The successful tender is currently being finalised and construction of the playground is scheduled to start before the end of 2020.
The playground will complement the recently completed junior playground, making Glenbrook Park a great family recreation precinct for all ages and abilities.
All four district parks in the Blue Mountains will receive upgrades valued at more than $5.2 million, thanks to funding received through the Western Parkland City Liveability Program.
You can now look at the final design of layout, style and the play elements for the Stage 2 playspace at Glenbrook District Park.
