    These two design options for Hall Park have been developed using the feedback we received in the first round of community consultation. 

    The two design have responded strongly to the consultation which showed how excited the youth community are about the possibility of a Ninja course. The survey results also showed a desire to cater for children of a wide range of ages and abilities. The benefit of a ninja course is that is suits a wide range of ages of people who can take the course at their own pace, learning confidence and developing strength and agility. 

    Both options have new swings. There are four swings including a standard seat swing, a basket swing, a toddler swing and a full support swing which can be used by people who require back support. There is rubberised softfall allowing all swings to be accessed with ease. There is also plenty of seating.

    Option 1 has the big Ninja course with a climbing feature in the middle. Almost all ninja features are able to be used by all ages, and the timer stopwatch will encourage friendly competition between children.  

    Option 2 has a smaller ninja course, but still an exciting offer, which is offset by the separate multi-use games area for practicing basketball, netball and soccer.

    These two design options for Bundah Park have been developed using the feedback we received in the first round of community consultation. 

    The two design options for Bundah Park have been developed to enhance its role as a community hub in Winmalee, responding to the outcomes of the park survey.  Each has a slightly different interpretation for your comment.   

    Both options upgrade the basketball practice hoop to ensure older kids and teenagers a place to hang and practice ball skills with extra seating for a rest.  Both options offer social seating to as a community meeting space, encouraging parents and kids to meet at the park for a play date.  

    For both options, a path into the park will improve accessibility into the park from an accessible parking space on Bundah Road connecting to the new infrastructure.  Accessibility of the play space will also be improved with a large area of rubberised soft fall.

    Option 1 includes a challenging climbing structure with lots of options for thrill seekers. And a nature play balance trail using natural materials timber and rock compliments the natural features of the park. Kinetic play options include a new set of swings which includes a basket swing which can be shared or used by people with a disability who can be lifted onto the swing and a rocker for young children.

    Wilson Park is located on Falls Road, Wentworth Falls

    If you would rather share your thoughts face-to-face, join us on site 2 November from 10am to 12pm

    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. 

    These two design options for Wilson Park have been developed using the feedback we received in the first round of community consultation. 

    The two design have been developed to celebrate and to protect the large trees which surround the play space and to respond to 2024 park survey outcomes.  Each option has a slightly different interpretation for your comment. 

    Both options diversify the play offer, offering something for children over seven years old while maintaining activities for younger children including the double slides.  And both offer more interactive and imaginative play.  Both options keep the existing four bay swing set as a valued item. The space has been levelled out even more to make it easier for adults to move around when they bring small children to play, including more rubberised softfall to make it more accessible.  

    Option 1 includes a row of connected play elements with a focus on climbing, and a new rocker.  The row will be a good challenge for kids who will try to get all the way to the twin slides without touching the ground.  The interactive imagination elements feature puzzle panels tucked under the slide as well as musical and interactive panels.  

    Option 2 includes a row of connected play elements with a track glide and a spinner.  The interactive imagination elements are a musical panel for creative souls who can play together making lots of noise and interactive panels and problem-solving games.

    These two design options for Melrose Park have been developed using the feedback we received in the first round of community consultation. 

    Each of the options has a slightly different interpretation of the feedback we received.   

    The survey results showed that the community strongly supports nature play elements using natural materials like timber and sandstone, reflecting the environment of the Mountains. The results also showed a desire to cater for children of a wide range of ages and abilities.

    The play opportunities included in these designs have been selected to be challenging and fun for kids of a variety of sizes and ages.  

    Both options keep the existing four bay swing set, as the community consultation showed us the swing set is a highly valued item.  

    Both options use natural stone to create a climbing feature.   

    To improve the accessibility of the play equipment, both options include an accessible parking bay and a large area of rubberised softfall to provide flat and smooth access to as much play equipment as possible.

    Option 1 for Melrose Park has a really strong focus on nature play. This option features natural stone rock climbing it also has log and rock balancing element.  

    The central climbing element has a tall slide and twin slides which will get kids playing together learning cooperation and collaboration. The interactive imagination element is a specially designed Melrose General Store and a highly entertaining distortion mirror.

    Option 2 for Melrose Park also leans into the nature play with rock climbing, and a timber and ropes Swiss Family Robinson Adventure climbing and slide combo. It has a kinetic focus (physically moving objects with and around your body) with a spinning item and see saw. The interactive imagination element has stimulating problem solving games.

    Lennox Park is a well-used neighbourhood park that features play equipment, picnic tables, tennis courts, and toilet amenities. The park already has wheelchair accessible parking and entrances, and it is located close to Glenbrook Lagoon, providing a nearby alternative space for water play and nature play. 

    As part of the Neighbourhood Parks Program, the ageing play equipment will be renewed. Early ideas also include installing a new multi-use games area (MUGA) court near the tennis courts, adding informal sandstone seating between the two courts, formalising the existing ball wall near the clubhouse, and extending the footpath to improve access between play spaces. 

    We would love to hear from you. How do you and your family currently use Lennox Park? What types of play equipment would you like to see in the renewed playground? Do you think the existing seating is adequate in both size and style? Your input will help shape the design and ensure the park continues to meet the needs of the Blaxland community now and into the future. 

    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.

    Peninsula Park is a popular neighbourhood park with climbing equipment, swings, balancing features, a picnic table, a bubbler and a bench seat. 

    It is well used by local families and workers from the nearby Valley Heights Industrial Centre, and it is located just 350 metres from Valley Heights train station. 

    Under the Neighbourhood Parks Program, we are planning to renew the play equipment and make the park more accessible and enjoyable. Early ideas include removing and relocating fencing to create a more usable space, repositioning picnic tables and seating into a consolidated social area, and adding sandstone seating near the playground. 

    We are also considering an accessible path from the car park to the playground, relocating the bubbler, adding an accessible parking spot, and creating a small nature play area near the bush edge. 

    We’d love to hear how you currently use Peninsula Park and what you’d like to see in the upgrade. What kinds of play equipment would best suit your needs? Do you think the current seating is sufficient? Are there other improvements that could help make the park safer, more inclusive and welcoming for all? 

    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.

    Bullaburra Village Green is a central community park with play equipment, picnic tables, a bench seat and an accessible path. While the path runs through the park, it doesn’t currently link to the play and picnic areas. 

    The park is close to Bullaburra Progress Association Hall and within walking distance of Bullaburra train station, making it an important local gathering space. 

    We’re planning upgrades to this park as part of the Neighbourhood Parks Program. Our early ideas include renewing and slightly expanding the playground to include new climbing and sliding elements, adding nature play features on the embankment, and creating informal sandstone seating around the play space. We are also looking at a new accessible path from the car park to the playground, as well as improvements to the existing bike loop path. 

    We want to hear from you about how you use the park and what’s most important for the upgrade. What kinds of play equipment would you like to see? Do you think the seating is adequate in size and style? Your feedback will help us ensure the upgrades reflect community needs while keeping the park’s welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

    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.
