McDonald-Healy Reserve Playground Upgrade in Parkdale

We’re excited to be planning for the upgraded playground at McDonald-Healy Reserve in Parkdale!

A draft design has been developed, and we would like to know your thoughts.

Playground design

The new playground area has been designed to offer an inclusive experience and play environment for all.

Highlights include:

• A dual swing set with a junior swing, toddler swing and nest swing
• A junior and senior combination unit with a slide and twirl bars
• Two rockers for junior play
• Nature play area with timber log steppers and rock boulders
• Seating, table and path improvements
• Garden bed planting and trees
• Accessible picnic setting
• Wheelchair accessible sand play table
• Equal access digger
• A new drinking fountain

The existing sand pit, picnic setting, fencing, trees and garden beds will be retained and protected. Additional trees are proposed and included in the draft design to provide natural shade and screening.

Construction on the new playground is due to commence in 2024.
