Arbor Park Play Space Renewal

BACKGROUND

Arbor Park in Morley is a well-loved district park that provides valuable recreation and play opportunities for the local community.

The existing playground is approaching the end of its service life, and the City is planning ahead for its future renewal. Through this early engagement process, we are seeking community feedback to help shape a play space that responds to local needs.

Subject to future budget approvals, the renewal will focus on the existing playground area.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

We're planning the future of play at Arbor Park.

The renewed playground will introduce new play opportunities within the existing play space, informed by community feedback. Potential features may include swings, climbing elements, and other play experiences that reflect community preferences and needs.

The renewal will focus on this play space only. Existing nature play and climbing elements located elsewhere within the park will remain unchanged.

The site has limited natural shade. Additional tree planting is planned by the City's Tree Services team; however, these plantings will take time to establish before providing meaningful canopy.

You can view the site plan to see the location of the proposed playground renewal.

COMMUNITY INPUT

We want to hear from you.

Your feedback will help us understand:

  • How you use the park
  • How often you visit
  • The ages of playground users
  • How far you travel to the park
  • The types of play experiences and equipment you value
  • What supporting infrastructure would improve your visit

Your input will help inform the future design of the playground.

Please complete the survey below by 4pm on 11 October 2026.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Following the close of the engagement period, the City will review all feedback received and prepare an Engagement Summary Report.

Project updates and key milestones will be shared on this page as the project progresses.
