Rushton Park Playground Renewal

Exciting Time Ahead: Rushton Park Playground Replacement!

The playgrounds at Rushton Park are due for replacement and this is your chance to play a part in the adventure! Works to replace the existing playground are set to commence in June 2025, with expected completion in September 2025.

How can I be involved?

We value your input! If you’re a local resident or a Rushton Park enthusiast, your ideas can shape the future of play in our community. We’re eager to collaborate with you in designing a playground that reflects the community’s needs. The City will run a three staged engagement process, allowing users and residents to follow along with the project journey.

Stage one consultation – Now Closed.

The survey opened on Monday 12 August and closed at midnight Monday 2 September 2024.
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.

Stage two consultation – Concept Design - Now Closed.

Following the survey's feedback, a concept plan has been developed that embodies the community's request for a modern playground with plenty of swinging, sliding and gliding!

You can expect to see:

- New playground equipment with slides, rope play, imaginative play, climbing and balance elements.

- A new combined play area with both mulch and rubber playground surfacing.

- A huge double flying fox with an All-Abilities seat.

- Multiple swings including a nest swing and a double A frame swing.

Check out the proposed concept plan in the documents tab to the right. Feel free to share your thoughts or comments with us below or by emailing parkdesign@armadale.wa.gov.au

Stage three consultation – Notification of works commencing - Commencing soon!

Works are anticipated to start in late June 2025 with an anticipated completion date in early September 2025.

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

We are also consulting on the broader playground renewal program across the City of Armadale. Visit the Engage page to learn more.
