Playground at Waterbuttons Park, Success - What do you think of the draft design?

The City of Cockburn has prepared a draft design for a new playground at Waterbuttons Park, with the help of nearby residents. Before we finalise the design, we want to hear your feedback on the draft. 

What we heard so far

In March 2023, the City asked residents who live near Waterbuttons Park their views on the idea of a new playground at the park. Key findings include:

• Most respondents (89%) support the idea of a new playground.
• The playground should be near the BBQ and picnic setting (near Susetta Approach).
  
• The materials and design should blend with the park's surroundings.
• Equipment should cater to 3-5 year olds, including swings, slides, climbers, and log steppers.
• A fence and shade sails are desirable. 

For more information, read the Community Feedback Summary in the Document Library.
