When it's happening

Construction works: February – May 2026.

What to expect during works

During the construction period: 

  • The construction areas will be fenced for safety.
  • Around 14 parking bays at the reserve will be temporarily unavailable.
  • Deliveries will enter via Kinrade Street, which may cause short delays near the reserve driveway and parking bays.

Thank you for your patience during the works. We look forward to opening the playspace for local families to enjoy later this year!
