Swanview Reserve playground replacement

Swanview Reserve playground has re-opened, following the completion of significant upgrades and the installation of new play equipment.

The outdated play structures have been replaced with new, safer equipment, including swings, slides, and climbing frames that cater to a range of ages. A new, small nature play area has also been introduced.

A new play space is being installed at Swanview Reserve in South Perth, designed to offer local families an exciting array of play equipment for all ages.

Offering plenty of fun and functionality, the new play space will include:

• New play equipment including a swing, rocker and talk tubes
• Small nature play area with stepping stones and a timber 'teepee'
• Larger sand pit
• A new shade shelter
• New seating

Landscaping will include a variety of Eucalyptus natives, limestone garden wall and block steppers, and pathways to improve accessibility.

Installation will begin on Wednesday 15 May and is expected to take five weeks.

Thank you to everyone from the community who provided feedback to the City.

We received a good response to the Swanview Reserve survey and drop-in session, with a broad and diverse range of feedback.

The top three favourite things to do at the playground were swinging, sliding and climbing, which is a common theme with other recent playground engagements. Many participants were keen to see equipment to meet the needs of a broader age range.

The concept design for the new playground will be developed based on the feedback received, the City’s Play Space Plan, industry guidelines, and other considerations such as budget.

A supplier will be engaged in the near future and it is anticipated that the new playground will be installed around April-June 2024 to allow for procurement, manufacture and delivery of the equipment.
