Gwynne Park Play Space Improvement

Exciting times ahead: Gwynne Park Play Space Improvement.

The playground at Gwynne Park is due for renewal and this is your chance to play a part in the adventure!

How can I be involved?

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

The City will run a three-stages engagement process, allowing users and residents to follow along with the project journey.

Stage One – Survey – Now Closed.

Take part in the survey below to help us understand what you like or dislike about Gwynne Park, particularly the playground.

The survey will close on Monday 4th August 2025 and following feedback received from the survey, a concept plan will be developed and provided back to the community for comments as part of the second stage on consultation.

Survey Summary:

Stage One of the consultation ran for three weeks and encouraged local residents and park users to complete a survey and the key findings revealed that while users appreciated the park's open space and multi-use areas, they noted significant amenity gaps such as lack of shelter, water fountains, seating, and modern play equipment.

The current play space was seen as outdated and not inclusive or challenging enough, with a strong desire expressed for slides, swings, sensory and imaginative features, and more accessible surfacing. Input from children highlighted preferences for adventurous and diverse play experiences similar to regional parks like Bibra Lake and Kwinana Adventure Playground.

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

Stage Two - Concept Design - Now Closed!

Following the survey's feedback, a concept plan has been developed that embodies the community's request for a modern inclusive play space.

You can expect to see:
- New playground unit featuring interactive panels, shelter, multiple slides, ramp, bridges,rock wall, shop front, musical elements and twist climber
- A combined play area with both mulch and rubber playground surfacing
- Triple swing including baby seat and basket seat
- 3x3 basketball court with Flexipave surfacing and line-marking
- Combination basketball post and soccer goal
- Increased pathways and pedestrian access
- 'Learn to Ride' area
- Additional trees and landscaping areas
- Central turf hang out space

Stage Three – Construction - Coming Soon!

Works are due to commence early 2027 and anticipated to be finished mid 2027.

For the duration of works and to allow construction to go ahead safely, the current space will be temporarily closed with the construction site surrounded by fencing.

The majority of works will involve earthworks, landscaping, and modifications. The primary hours of work will be on the weekdays from 7.00am to 5.00pm. There may be some noise and dust during the work for nearby residents and businesses. We will make every effort to minimise the impact of the works on the community as much as possible.

The City of Armadale thanks local residents and businesses in advance for their patience during these works. Construction work is not expected to have an adverse impact on any resident or property, however should you wish to discuss any concerns prior to the works commencing or during the construction period, please contact the Parks Development team on 9394 5000 or email parkdesign@armadale.wa.gov.au
