See the final design
We asked for your thoughts about a replacement playground at Stonewell Common Reserve in May 2025.
A lot has happened since then, we have collated all 33 survey responses to bring a final design incorporating your feedback that will assist children to develop balance, agility and co-ordination skills.
You can view these final concept images and details further below this page.
Construction will begin in October 2025 and take approximately 6 to 8 weeks.

Background
The existing playground and fitness equipment at Stonewell Common Reserve has reached the end of its usual asset lifespan and is ready for replacement. The current play equipment has a focus on children aged 2 to 6 years old, and we plan to expand this focus to 2 to 8 years for the replacement playground.
A budget has been allocated in the draft 2025–26 Annual Business Plan to upgrade the playground, fitness equipment and rubber softfall. If this budget is endorsed in June 2025, we plan to use this money to install new play and fitness equipment, including (but not limited to) a swing, a slide and climbing equipment.
This work is in line with our Open Space Asset Management Plan. We expect to start construction in early 2026 and to complete work by the end of June 2026.
