Quarries Park Playground upgrade
A more exciting, inclusive and nature-based playground that encourages children of all ages and abilities to play.
A nature-based playground for all abilities
We're creating a more exciting, inclusive and nature-based playground that encourages children of all ages and abilities to play, explore and connect with the surrounding bushland environment.
In response to community feedback, we will:
- incorporate accessible water play opportunities, including a DDA-compliant sand table
- provide increased shade through tree planting and shade structures
- use natural materials and colours to blend in with the bushland surrounds
- a flying fox, hammock and accessible swings
- a wheelchair carousel
The result will be a nature-inspired destination that provides more opportunities for play, learning and social connection while preserving the environment that make the park special.
Concept designs
- Construction to commence: March 2027
- Anticipated construction completion: July 2027
