Council received 56 responses. Your feedback highlighted the need to:

• fully fence the new playground
• provide opportunities for play for all ages and abilities
• incorporate physically challenging climbing and obstacle play
• include paths for scooters.

Beyond the design and construction of the new playground, which is funded in the current financial year budget, a range of comments were received from the community about additional features including:

• a leash free dog area
• basketball courts
• a nature trail
• water play.

These items are beyond the scope of this project and have been passed onto Council’s Open Space planners for future consideration in conjunction with Council’s Open Space planning guidelines and policies.

The playground design is inspired by the design of the iconic Queenslander houses that give Booval its character.

The playground itself is fully fenced and divided into four playrooms off a central pathway. The younger kids’ play area has a façade painted to look like a Queenslander house and features low scrambling blocks, doors and a slide passing through a window. The older kids’ area is more challenging and features a large climbing net with a high slide.

The design incorporates community feedback and includes:

• pathways that are wheelchair accessible
• a swing, carousel and musical play that provide play opportunities for people of all abilities
• climbing net and obstacle course
• wide paths that enable multiple uses such as young scooter riders
• slides for both older and younger children.

The new playground would be located in the south west corner of Cameron Park, at the corner of Glebe Road and Easton Street.
