Project update
We’re planning a new pocket park at 2A Westbrook Street, Chadstone, to create a playspace for local children and the community.
In 2023, we asked what you would like to see in this new playspace and incorporated some of these ideas into an exciting draft concept design, which we then sought feedback on.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.
The project will now progress to the tender phase and we anticipate construction will take place in the 2024/25 financial year.

Please note that images of play elements are indicative rather than a precise specification. Some proposed play elements may change subject to budget.
Design guidelines
The playspace will be a 'pocket' classification, which means it is a very small playground usually used by children in the immediate vicinity and accessed by foot. Caters for residents within 400 metres and is guided by the following:
- Combination of 3 to 5 items of play equipment for toddlers and pre-schoolers
- Designs include accessible features and bench seating
- It should complement play provision in nearby playspaces
- Facilitate opportunities for social interaction
- Inclusive designs and wheelchair accessible path system
- Something that contributes to a unique local identity (Playspace Design Principles & Considerations)
