- contribute to increased community physical and mental wellbeing
- are accessible for all members of the community

- are multi-purposed and that can change and adapt over time
- create a social environment where local community members can connect

The playspace design has been created with input from local community members and residents and features:
- picnic facilities, including a shelter, BBQ and picnic tables
- natural play features, including a dry creek bed and grassland sensory garden
- a play tower with rope climbing and slides
- a flying fox
- accessible spinner
- an abundance of trees to provide natural shade in time
- a resurfaced kick-about space.
