Choose your play space!
Council has secured funding through the 'Everyone Can Play' Grant to replace the senior play space near the toilets. The junior pirate-ship play space will remain, as it is still in good condition.
We need you to choose your preferred option for the play space, through our survey. Both options have a nature-based style with many adventurous and inclusive elements. Let us know which option you prefer and there is some scope for mix and match, so you can also let us know which are your favourite pieces.
View Design Option 1
- Climbing tower and cargo nets between platforms
- Giant nest swing and pair of traditional swings
- Slide off platform
- Shaded decking under trees
- Tunnel
View Design Option 2
- Climbing tower and climbing trail
- Triple bay swing set with a variety of 6 swings
- Slide off climbing tower and double slide off gazebo
- Shade sail over swing set and sensory elements
- Bungalow style cubby house
You can also view the Comparison Table to see what elements are common to both options. For more information about what an Inclusive Play Space is, please read our Frequently Asked Questions.
You can also download the colouring in sheet for the kids!
The final design will take into account your preferences as well as being within the capacity of the allocated funding.
The survey is open from 11 December 2020 to 17 January 2021.
Don’t miss the chance to have your say at this popular location!

A replacement play space is coming soon!
Council has secured funding through the 'Everyone Can Play' Grant to replace the senior play space near the toilets. The junior pirate-ship play space will remain as it is still in good condition.
We are currently working on new inclusive play space designs that we will share with you in the coming weeks.
This funding is separate to the Western Sydney City Deal Liveability grant that is funding other improvements at Wentworth Falls Lake.

We are currently seeking feedback on the early stage preliminary Masterplan and your thoughts on replacing the playground.
When viewing the Masterplan, you may find the Site Analysis and Design Strategies useful reading as well.
We are still working on other documents including a Plan of Management which will be formally exhibited later in the year along with the final draft Masterplan.
To find out what a Plan of Management and Masterplan is, please click here to our Frequently Asked Questions.
Developing Plans of Management, and finalising designs is a long process. Council is required to follow certain steps, and get approvals from other Government departments along the way. This can take some time to complete.
We are also looking into the safety of the dam wall as part of the design for the new accessible walkway and we will let you know when we have more information.

Yes, while works on the playgrounds are not included in the City Deal Liveability grant, additional funding has been found through the ‘Everyone Can Play’ grant to replace the old equipment located near the new toilets.
The pirate ship playground is still in good condition so it will be left as it currently is. We would like to know what type of replacement playground would be best for Wentworth Falls Lake.

Council is undertaking a comprehensive review of the Wentworth
Falls Lake Dam.
It is a legislative requirement and also in line with the
proposed improvements for the accessible walkway over the dam wall.
The dam wall will be closed to the public at various times over March
and April while investigations are undertaken.

Council
manages 105 parks and 56 formal playgrounds across the Blue Mountains.
Not
every park and playground is the same. We have different kinds of parks and
playgrounds, which people use differently, and need different equipment and
management.
Wentworth
Falls Lake Park is one of four district parks in the Blue Mountains. District
parks are large and high quality parks that cater to the needs of the broader
Blue Mountains community. They offer a wider variety of activities and settings
and are often the most popular parks and playgrounds.
In addition to the different types and levels of parks, Council provides
a range of different play types across our playgrounds and parks, to ensure
there is something to suit children’s diverse needs and ages.

No. These
improvements are important and we want your help to shape the designs. Consulting
with you will also help us identify other priorities for the Plan of
Management, and all future works will reflect those priorities.

No. The City Deal
upgrade, and the Plan of Management will enhance the space and the way the
community uses it making it easier to get around and protect the environmental
values that make it so special. Our goal is to find out what you love about
Wentworth Falls Lake Park, and improve the experience for all.
