Recent completed upgrades
Recent completed upgrades include:
The Crescent Play Area – Roseneath
We sought and considered public feedback on this upgrade in April 2019. We worked with the Roseneath Residents Association to determine which play equipment to keep and which to replace.
We decided to carry out the upgrade in two stages. Stage one was completed on 12 September 2019. It included:
- New stainless steel slide replacing the old fibreglass slide
- Updating the toddlers trail with a new track and climbing wall, and loosening up the wobble bridge. (We have left much of the existing toddlers balance equipment in place at the request of the residents association)
- Landscaping and planting native grasses on the hillside (currently fenced off while the turf becomes established)
- Refurbished observation deck
The upgrade was completed on 12 September 2019 and cost $123,843.20.
Stage two
We hope to remove the fencing around the native grasses shortly. This will allow us to see how the new set up works for the local children before committing to any additional work
