Lookout Park Play Upgrades

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.

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).

How can you meet with City Officers to discuss the park upgrade and your feedback?

• Attend the drop-in session: Drop-in sessions allow the public to meet with City staff to ask questions about the project, seek clarification and guidance on how to best submit feedback. These are informal sessions that allow the public to come and go during the time period provided. To learn more, visit our How We Engage page here.
