OVERVIEW

Collendina Reserve Playground, located at 18 Minerva Close, Ocean Grove, installed in 2002 is soon to undergo a much-needed renewal.

As a Local Playground within easy walking or riding distance from nearby homes, it primarily caters for children aged three to seven years, and provides standard access for all levels.

As part of the City's Play Strategy, this playground has been identified for renewal in 2025. The renewal program will ensure Collendina Reserve playground has somewhere for visitors to run, swing, slide and climb, as well as an update of the existing play equipment.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the proposed plans for the playground. Please view the proposed playground design and location options below and provide your feedback by completing a short survey. The survey closes at 5:00pm on 3 October 2025.

It is proposed that the redesign will include:

  • Double swing - toddler and standard
  • Basket swing
  • Play panels
  • Double slide
  • Junior slide
  • Cube climber
  • Fire Pole
  • Rocker
  • Small rope climber

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY PLAYGROUND RENEWAL?

When we renew our playgrounds, we will make sure there is:

  • somewhere to run
  • somewhere to swing
  • somewhere to slide, and
  • somewhere to climb.

The current playground equipment will be replaced with new equipment; a seat will be installed and trees planted for shade where possible. The surface around the play equipment will remain as soft fall (playground-safe tan bark).

This renewal does not include fixed shade structures, water play, an increase in playground size or change of playground hierarchy (i.e. this playground will remain a local playground). The colours will be changed to suit the environment.

We have designed a new playground and would love to hear your feedback on the design and where you would like it to be located.
