Battersea Reserve is a Neighborhood Park located in Morley. The existing traditional style play equipment has reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced mid-2024. We understand how important the playground is to our community and this redevelopment aims to ensure it continues to be a vibrant hub for families and create an even more engaging play experience for everyone.
How will the play space be redeveloped?
Depending on the equipment selected, this play space has the potential to enhance play, connect with the established nature play area and increase natural shade by adjusting the footprint of the play space. The nature play equipment next to the traditional play space is excluded from the redevelopment and will remain. The Proposed Play Space Location Plan provides a visual representation of the play space size and layout.
The City is investigating the opportunity to undertake any additional works at this park in conjunction with the play space renewal. This may include, but is not limited to, converting underutilized areas of turf to mulched native planting to reduce watering and maintenance, community initiatives and general landscape upgrades where necessary and feasible.
The indicative concept plan is now available and ready to be viewed in the document library.
You can view the full outcomes report for the community consultation here.
Play space installation works
Battersea Reserve is now OPEN to the public.
Concrete footpath will be installed in the coming weeks. This page will be updated with progress on the project.
