Community Playground, Oakleigh

The existing church playground contains equipment that is over 30 years old and it is the only playground for the residents in the area that does not require crossing two of the busiest roads in Victoria.

The new playground will provide a safe place to play for the children who attend the church, community playgroup, mainly music and dance and music schools, and is open to members of local community.

It will encourage healthy minds and bodies and have a variety of different shapes, sizes, and fun challenging play elements for children of all ages.

The new play space aims to provide an accessible place to play for the entire community that reflects the surrounds and offers comfort and engagement for everyone. It will be a space that:
• Caters for families within our community along with visitors to the community hall complex
• Celebrates and is complimentary to the natural surrounds and environment
• Encourage environmental education opportunities, increasing the understanding of responsibility for our environment and sustainability
• Be vibrant, emphasising inclusiveness for all abilities
• Be engaging, sensitive and robust
• Comply with Australian Standards regarding Playgrounds and Public Spaces
