Help us design Hinkler Reserve playspace

Published on 22 July 2026

Help us design a new playspace at Hinkler Reserve in Glen Waverley (69-81 Hinkler Rd).

If you live near the playspace, or visit it often, tell us what type of play equipment and fitness equipment you'd like to see in the design.

Your feedback will help us develop a concept design, which we'll present back to the community for feedback by November 2026.

Funding for the construction of the playground will be considered by Council as part of the 2027/28 annual budget process.

Design guidelines

Hinkler Reserve is classified as a 'local' playspace, which guides the budget and scope of our design.

Local playgrounds playspaces are usually designed:

• with 5 to 8 pieces of play equipment
• for preschool to primary school-aged children
• for shorter visits by locals.

The design will also include a small outdoor fitness hub, and we are proposing a mini netball/basketball shooting court that will give children of different ages more opportunities to play outdoors.

How to have your say

• Take our interactive survey on Shape Monash.
• Upload a drawing of your dream playground on Shape Monash.
• Come talk to us at the current playground (between Hinkler Rd and Hinkler Rd East entrances) on Tuesday 28 July, 3pm – 4pm.
