Public consultation for Coyle Park playground renewal closed on 27 May 2025.

We received 79 submissions through the drop-in session and online feedback form.

Key feedback themes

Feedback shows support for:

• the proposed design
• keeping the existing play equipment including:
  • monorail
  • flying fox
  • climbing boulder
  • spinner
  • climbing net
• shade over the playground and seating areas
• addressing the drainage issues.

We have also received requests for improvements to netball, tennis, fitness, bike/skate facilities. However, they are outside the scope of this playground renewal.

Changes made based on feedback

The new design includes:

• a set of monkey bars
• three metres increase in the height of swing frame for older age groups
• a set of concrete steps with handrails which will be added to the steep grassy slope to make it easier and safer to get to the carpark and toilet block
• a path and cycle racks between the climbing net and perimeter path
• toddler train, carriage and ticket booth for imaginative play based on the theme of the existing monorail.

What happens next

We have presented your feedback to Albert-Eden Local Board and are working towards a detailed design.
