In 2024, we consulted with the local community on an upgrade to the playspace at Winbourne Road Reserve in Mount Waverley.

We invited your input and suggestions for this new playspace. In response to this valuable feedback, we developed a draft concept plan that incorporates many of the ideas, and sought feedback on the plan.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.

What happens next

The upgrade to Winbourne Road Reserve playspace is currently on hold pending funding approval in a future Council budget.

We understand that the delay is disappointing, however we would like to acknowledge and thank those who took part in the design consultation in 2024.

Your input and feedback have informed the concept designs, and we hope to deliver these upgrades in the future.

To stay informed about this project, please check back for updates to this page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please note that images of play elements are indicative rather than a precise specification. Some proposed play elements may change subject to budget.

• Existing slide unit with new rock climbing wall, scramble net and new monkey bars
• Spinner
• Basket swing
• Play panels
• New seating
• New accessible concrete path.

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)
