New play options at Ballam Park
Published on 18 March 2024
We’re making Ballam Park play space even better!
Just wait till you see what we have planned for the final stage of our play space upgrade.
You asked for an area where younger kids can explore, climb, hide, and slide and we’re delivering just that.
The new play area — designed for children aged from three to 10 years, will feature:
- Sway bridge with overhead ropes;
- Basket swing accommodating up to 8 children;
- Balance beams;
- Cubby house;
- Climbing rocks;
- Leaf-design bridge with stones inside as a tactile experience; and
- Junior slide.
To make play time even more engaging, the play area features a range of materials, including recycled bridge timber, steel, and river rocks.
The upgrade complements the Ballam Bumps play area for older kids and the new play area completed in December 2022.
The project is funded by Council through the Victorian Government’s Community Infrastructure Loan Scheme, and we can’t wait to take it for a test run when it opens in May!
