We're planning a renewal of the playspace at Dick Lawrence Oval (Beaconsfield) to make sure it meets the needs of all users.
As part of the City's ten year playspace renewal program, the play equipment at Dick Lawrence Oval is due for replacement. We're interested in how you'd like to use this space and new equipment, and also what location would suit you best.
Final concept
In October/November 2020 we asked for your input into the location and style of replacement play facilities you’d like to see in this space. We heard from over 60 people and the most highly ranked activities were nature play and climbing, with Location A being the most preferred space.
All of the input received was used as the basis for the concept design which includes:
Large two-level cubby with slides and ramp access for inclusive play
Large natural timber climbing element with a variety of challenges, the ‘Moreton Climber’
Nature play elements with balance beams, steppers, timber poles and large fallen logs to climb upon
Tall timber ‘squeeze through’ poles, large feature boulders and timber stepper access through garden bed
Tall tubular chimes for sensory and inclusive play
Natural timber top sand play table with sand pulley and seating log
Basket swing over rubber softfall for inclusive play access
Other upgrades include:
A new garden bed providing a protective vegetated buffer around the playground to help separate the playspace from dog walking areas
Wide, accessible concrete path linking ACROD parking behind the clubrooms into the playground and picnic areas
Accessible picnic table
Relocation of rubbish bin
Location A was the preferred option and has been chosen for reasons such as proximity to facilities and existing shade, and others which you can find out more about in the engagement report. However many people also saw the value of a potential youth zone at Location B, and this will be considered during masterplanning of Hilton Reserve which is expected to occur in the next 1-2 years.

Share your feedback on the draft concept before 5.00pm Monday 22 February 2021.
