Background
Toowong Reserve is a Local Park located in Bayswater. The existing 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?
The approximate budget for this redevelopment is $60,000. Depending on the equipment selected, this play space has the potential to enhance play, connect with the existing infrastructure, and have increased natural shade by adjusting the footprint of the play space. 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 community consultation outcomes report here.
Next steps
Following the indicative concept plan, the City will begin sourcing for play equipment for the reserve and make adjustment to the concept plan if required. Updates will be provided on this page as the project progresses.
It is anticipated works will commence in July 2024, with estimated completion in August 2024. Dates are subject to change. The play space will remain open until works commence. Once the space is closed for the upgrade, we encourage the community to visit the nearby play space at Beaufort Park.
