Kingsland Park | Park Upgrade
- Project scheduleFebruary 2025 to May 2025
Last Updated: 19/12/2024
Kingsland Park is a local neighbourhood pocket park in City Beach located on the corner of Kingsland Avenue and West Coast Hwy. The park assets are ageing and the playground has been identified as requiring replacement through our playground audit inspection program. Community feedback has also identified a need to install barrier fencing and buffer planting between the playground and West Coast Highway. The park will benefit from hydrozoning and native planting for more efficient water usage.
Scope
The Project scope includes:
- Community engagement to understand the current use of the park and identify community needs
- Design phase
- Procurement of contracts and services
- Construction
Community input on the design will be sought from residents surrounding the park as a survey.
Progress Update
Project scoping and engagement have commenced. The Town reached out to users of Kingsland Park to seek feedback on the use and values of the park via an online survey which is now closed.
We received a total of 18 responses which have been summarised below:
- The primary activities in the park are playing in the playground (88%), passive recreation (44%), dog walking (27%) and active recreation in the open turf areas (20%);
- Users placed the highest values on the playground facilities (88%), existing trees (77%), open turf areas (52%) and the views and aesthetic of the park (55%);
- A strong desire for barrier fencing and planting along the West Coast Highway was identified in the survey responses.
The Town recently sought further feedback on the playground equipment replacement, presenting two preferred design options for consideration. The responses have been reviewed and there was a strong preference in the responses for Concept Option 1. We will now progress with detailed design and procurement of this playground option.
A concept design for the overall park upgrade has been developed to include the outcomes of the survey and can be viewed in the attached documents.
