The Strand Reserve, Bayswater
Consultation has concluded
The Strand Reserve is located on The Strand, in Bayswater, opposite Essex Reserve. Residents can choose from a handful of parks in this area within walking distance of their house; these are mostly Pocket and Local parks. The Strand is classified as a Pocket level park, mainly used by surrounding local residents for short visits.
The City has developed a Parks and Play Space Classification Hierarchy to inform and guide play space redevelopments. For your reference, this can be found in the Document Library to the right of the page.
Redevelopment of the play space
The play equipment is due for replacement and we are taking the opportunity to redevelop the play space. This means that we would like to know how the community uses the space and their ideas for improvement. This may include basic play elements, seating and other types of park infrastructure, depending on community feedback and subject to available resources.
The budget for this project is $25,000.
Community Engagement update
The City received 9 completed surveys during the final stage of community consultation in relation to The Strand Reserve play space redevelopment. The information collected from the community engagement process then assisted the City to develop a final concept design based on a mixture style of play equipment.
The community requested that the following be considered within the overall concept design:
- Equipment to be suitable for children aged between 0 - 12 years
- They were in favour of the tornado swing
- An alternative component to the tepee
- An additional climbing component
Thank you for all your feedback. The City values your input and it helps us make an informed decision based on community preferences.
What's next?
The final design has been developed and is available to view in the Photo Gallery to the right of this page.
The play space is now open.

Remove the ghost gums, they are dangerous. Provide shade sails and plant new safer trees. Fully fenced. More equipment. Better maintained.

Different playground materials
The playgrounds in walkable distance to the Strand Reserve are very much the same equipment- sometimes identical . Maybe, some of the Russel St Playground equipment as there are older as well as young kids who use the Strand Reserve

Previous idea still stands: investment of more than the proposed $25,000 - and consolidate the safety of park users, with proper shelter
Have emailed Lucy in the past and offered up suggestions of mitigating speeding traffic and twinning both parks up, to establish a culdasac. Bring a cordoned off playground forward into the other park (away from the 5 massive, collapsed - so far- branches, of the unsuitable and unmaintained ghost gums) and establish a community space with BBQ's and robust shelter in the smaller Strand Reserve/ veggie patches/ events etc. Thanks Guys, Giovanni
