Exercise equipment and playground upgrades

The City of Vincent is undergoing an update to some of our much loved play and exercise areas.

From exercise equipment to playgrounds, it's time to refresh your play.

Ivy Park

A much loved little park tucked away off busy Charles Street, Ivy Park playground has been a hit with neighbourhood kids for over 20 years.

However it has now reached the end of its usable life and requires a makeover.

Based on feedback received during consultation, and in-line with the allocated budget, key features of the new playground design include:

• Play components for a mixed age groups including tornado basket swing, two slides and sensory play.
• Nature inspired steel framed playground equipment with wooden elements
• Rubber soft fall connecting the playground ramp, xylophone and accessible dipper rocker to the brick paving.
• Soft fall sand under the main play structure
• Soft fall mulch under the tornado basket

Due to budget constraints within this project shade sails will be installed as part of future budget. 

Estimated Installation Timeframe: UPDATED Monday 7 August - Friday 18 August 2023

Lynton Street Reserve

Lynton Street playground is another golden oldie, serving the local community for over 20 years. With the rest of the park receiving a facelift in recent years, it’s now time for a fresh, new playground.

Based on feedback received during consultation, and in-line with the allocated budget, key features of the new playground design include:

• Play components for a mixed age groups including basket swing, climbing equipment and sensory play.
• Nature inspired steel framed playground equipment with wooden elements
• Soft fall mulch under the main playground structure with rubber soft fall playground surface to basket swing and scuttle rocker.  

Due to budget constraints within this project shade sails will be included in future. 

Estimated Completion Date: Friday 4 August 2023

Charles Veryard Reserve

Serving the local residents and community for 11 years, the Charles Veryard exercise equipment has been well used. The four exercise stations around the reserve are coming to the end of their life so now it is time for something new.

Based on feedback received during consultation, and in-line with the allocated budget, key features of the new exercise equipment include:

• A combination of mixed functional pieces and Calisthenics-style equipment incorporating elements for users of all abilities.
• A larger fitness hub adjacent to the playground and Macedonia Place carpark.
• Two smaller stand-alone equipment stations located at the existing sites at the North Western corner and South Eastern corner (adjacent to the footpath) of the reserve.

Estimated Installation Timeframe: UPDATED Monday 21 - Wednesday 31 August 2023
