Lookout Park in O'Connor is set for a playground renewal and park upgrades in the 2026/7 financial year. We would love to hear your thoughts about what play elements and playground look and feel appeals to you, as well as how you currently interact with the park.

Lookout Park is a well-loved community recreational space that features formal pathways, seating and picnic areas, lawn areas and a bocce park. The City's Place and Projects Team have received capital works funding to revitalise play equipment and enhance green spaces within Lookout Park. The planned works include new native plantings, scheduled for winter 2026, that will infill existing park garden beds to increase biodiversity.

We’d love your input to help shape a refreshed playground that works for everyone who enjoys the reserve. Your feedback will be reviewed after consultation closes and used to refine the final play design for Lookout Park. Once the design is confirmed, construction of the new playground is planned for early 2027.

The scope of this park project includes:

  • Replacement of the existing play equipment (rope climbing structure, rocker and spinner) which are nearing end of useful life.
  • Increasing native planting in existing garden beds to increase biodiversity.
  • Resurfacing existing bocce playing area with a compacted gravel finish or repurposing the space.

How can the community influence the project?

We are asking the public to:

  • Learn more about what is planned by exploring the Frequently Asked Questions and explainer documents listed below.
  • Share what you love, how you currently interact with the park and what play design elements you would like to see by completing the Lookout Park Upgrades Survey.
  • View the associated materials, talk to City officers and provide feedback in person at the Lookout Park Drop-In-Session (details below).

    The Lookout Park play renewal takes into consideration the aims and directions laid out in the City's Public Open Space Strategy 2024 - 2034.

    In today’s rapidly changing world, public open spaces serve as vital sanctuaries, providing communities with places for recreation, relaxation, social interaction, and connection with nature. As population growth, climate change, and urbanisation pose significant challenges, the value of these spaces becomes increasingly evident.

    The purpose of the City of Fremantle Public Open Space (POS) Strategy is to provide a clear strategic direction and framework for the provision and management of POS within the City. In doing so, the Strategy recognises the challenges presented by the City’s declining POS provision per person and limited opportunities for new POS acquisition. The City’s future directions for public open space is to ensure it continues to serve its purpose to allow the community to participate and connect in a functional, flexible and sustainable environment.

    The Lookout Park upgrade project aims to implement solutions with strategic, long-term thinking and guidance that speaks to the City of Fremantle’s 2024-2034 Strategic Community Plan, as well as the City’s asset renewal program related to parks, reserves and play equipment.

    The City's 2024-2034 Strategic Community Plan is the City’s most significant guiding document and establishes the community’s long-term aspirations and vision for Fremantle’s future. The Plan drives the City’s planning, budgeting, resource allocation and service delivery over the next decade, and was developed in direct collaboration with people who live, work, and play in Fremantle. This project meets a number of key focus areas set out by the community - most importantly that Fremantle is a "Liveable City that is vibrant, socially connected and desirable" with "sustainably designed and optimised urban and natural environments."
