This project was community-driven, with community consultation driving the design of the park. This was one of the initial proposals presented to the local council. In a professional project, I was directly involved in communicating to stakeholders, site analysis, community consultation, designing & costing.
The existing park had lots of natural vegetation and was primarily used by young families both local and traveling. The main feedback from community consultation was to increase facilities (BBQs, tables, shading, etc), improve safety, increase enclosed play & provide play for older children and teens. An all-abilities playground and a sensory garden were common responses.
