Playground Replacement Program

Adamstown Park, new playground on Glebe RoadIn 2024, popular recreational areas at Adamstown Park, Rawson Park in Stockton and Waratah’s Coolamin Reserve received new equipment, while Islington Park’s playground was upgraded with new rubber softfall and a fresh coat of colour.

Playgrounds are selected and identified from a biennial playground safety audit we undertook on all of our playground sites across the City. From this safety audit every playground is given a condition rating which determines its priority within our renewal program.
