Clarke Reserve in Elwood will soon be the site of an exciting new play space. Using the ideas community members shared with us in 2025, we’ve developed a concept plan for a full upgrade of the space. The plan is now available for you to view and give feedback. Share your thoughts and help us make this space the best it can be.

How will my feedback change this project?

We're eager to hear your feedback and combine this with other considerations such as costing, feasibility, and expert advice to make sure we create the best possible outcome for everyone.

  • What you can influence on this project

    Your feedback can influence our final concept plan of the play space, including:

    • what new equipment and features we include
    • the overall design of the space, including layout.
  • What you can't influence on this project

    Some things aren't available to be changed in this project:

    • The location and size of the play space will stay the same.
    • We are not including work on other areas in Clarke Reserve.
    • We are adding a fence to better separate the play space from the dog off-leash areas.
    • We will design the play space to comply with regulations and standards.
