The play equipment at Highgrove Reserve is old and in need of renewal.

We propose replacing the play equipment and want your feedback on the types of play equipment you would like to see in the playground.

What we want your feedback on

We want to know:

  • your preferred option for the renewal
  • if anyone in your household has a disability that affects how they access or use the playground
  • if we should spend all the money on play equipment or consider adding facilities to the playground for caregivers which may include:
    • seating
    • picnic table
    • bike stands.
  • if there is anything else you would like to be included in the playground in the future
  • if you have any other feedback about the playground.
