FAQs - Playground Upgrade
Why is the current playground being replaced?
The City conducts regular upgrades to playgrounds to maintain safe and functional infrastructure, whilst ensuring compliance to changing Australian Standards. Playground upgrade works at Hamilton Park will be carried out as part of the City’s Capital Works Program, complementing landscaping and irrigation upgrades.
Can the playground be a mixture of all design options?
Unfortunately, no. The City endeavours to ensure a safe playground for all users. As part of this process, all designs comply with the relevant Australian Standards. Mixing and matching components from several manufacturers would compromise this due to issues such as encroaching fall zones.
Will the park be closed?
No, only the immediate work area (playground) will be fenced off for safety reasons. All other areas of the park will remain accessible.
Will the area be shaded?
Yes, it is proposed that the playground upgrade will include the installation of shade sails.
