Bandin Reserve Playground Rejuvenation

Exciting times ahead!

The playground at Bandin Reserve, formerly Jim & Alma Baker Park, is being rejuvenated and this is your chance to play a part in the adventure.

How can I be involved?

We value your input. If you’re a local resident or Bandin Reserve enthusiast, your ideas can help shape the future of play and park use at Bandin Reserve. We’re eager to collaborate with you in designing a playground that reflects what the community wants.

The City will be running a three-stage engagement process, allowing you to follow along with the project journey on this page.

Stage 1. Survey – Now Closed.

Take part in the survey below to help us understand what you like or dislike about the play space at Bandin Reserve.

Following feedback received from the survey, a concept plan will be developed and provided back to the community for comment as part of the second stage of consultation.

Survey Summary

Stage One of the consultation ran for three weeks and encouraged residents and park users to complete a survey.

Key findings revealed that residents loved the natural surroundings of Bandin Reserve and the rubber soft fall of the existing playground, however, the current play space was seen as outdated and not challenging enough, with a strong desire for swings and nature play.

These insights will now inform the development of a concept plan, which will be shared in Stage Two of the consultation.

Stage 2. Concept Design - Now Open!

Following the surveys feedback. A concept plan has been developed that embodies the community’s request for a modern play space.

You can expect to see:

- A new all ages playground unit featuring multiple slides, tunnel, shop front, activity panels, sensory play, monkey bars, climbing frames, bridges and more!

- A Double swing featuring a toddler seat

- Nature trail journey pathways with timber logs and steppers

- Talking Tubes

- Group Springer
