An upgraded and accessible play space at Annettes Place
We're improving Annettes Place to enhance the playground's natural setting while making the reserve more welcoming, accessible and enjoyable for children of all ages.
The upgraded park will feature a more clearly defined play space with a greater variety of play opportunities designed to cater to children of different ages and abilities.
New play elements will include:
- a separate play structure for older and younger children
- an accessible carousel
- accessible basket swing
- 21 new trees
- 400 new plantings
- new bike hoops
- more clearly defined areas for dog walking.
To support a diverse range of activities, picnic areas will be integrated into the play space, creating more welcoming places for families and friends to gather.
