Kirkpatrick Reserve Play Space Renewal

BACKGROUND

Kirkpatrick Reserve in Noranda is a well-loved neighbourhood 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 future play space.

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 Kirkpatrick Reserve.

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

The renewal will focus on the existing playground areas.

The site is well shaded by existing mature trees, which provide natural shade across much of the area.

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.
