Neighbourhood Parks Upgrades

The final design for Hall Park brings together the strongest themes from community consultation into a hybrid design that supports toddlers, school-aged children, teenagers and families in one shared space. 

The design includes a new multi-use games half court, a continuous ninja and climbing circuit, and a dedicated toddler and under-five play area. 

Accessibility and comfort have been improved through step-free paths, wide softfall surfaces and seating positioned near key play zones. 

The final layout balances active, imaginative and inclusive play while strengthening Hall Park’s role as a valued neighbourhood park for Mount Riverview.

The final design for Wilson Park reflects strong community support for upgrading the playground while preserving the park’s relaxed, leafy character. 

The design introduces a more diverse range of play activities, including connected climbing and balancing elements, two slides at different heights, imaginative and sensory play features, and improved accessibility through level pathways and rubber softfall. The existing swing set has been retained in response to strong community feedback. 

The layout has been carefully designed to protect mature trees and blend with the surrounding landscape, creating a welcoming destination park for both local families and visiting users.

The final design for Melrose Park has been developed in direct response to community feedback on the two draft options. 

The design focuses on delivering more play variety while retaining the park’s natural character, with a mix of slides, climbing and balancing elements, imaginative play and nature-based materials. Well-used features such as the existing swing set have been retained, and accessibility has been improved with smoother surfaces and an accessible parking space. 

The design balances strong community support for more engaging play for younger children with opportunities for challenge and imaginative play for older kids, while remaining within the available budget and program scope.

Bloome Park is a much-loved green space in the heart of Leura. 

It features picnic tables, climbing equipment, swings and an accessible path, though the path doesn’t currently connect well to the seating and play areas. 

Located just 300 metres from Leura town centre, the park is an important gathering spot for locals and visitors. 

As part of the Neighbourhood Parks Program, we are planning to renew the ageing play equipment and improve connections within the park. Some of the early ideas include consolidating the swings into the northern play space, creating more open turf areas, extending pathways for better accessibility, and repositioning seating to support social use. We are also considering kerb and gutter works for easier access from Craigend Street. 

This is the first stage of consultation, and we’d like to hear from you. Who uses Bloome Park? How do you use it now, and what would make it better for you? 

We’re particularly keen to hear what types of play equipment you’d like to see, how well the current seating meets community needs, and whether there are other improvements that could make the park safer, more inclusive and more enjoyable for everyone. 

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. There are plenty of opportunities within the survey to share open feedback, but you can also email lmurphy@bmcc.nsw.gov.au should that be more suitable.

It is important that we hear from as much of the community as possible. If you would prefer to receive a printed copy, or if there is anything we can do to help you access or complete the survey, please call us on 4780 5000 and one of our team will assist.
