Food allergy sign to keep all local kids safe.
Food allergy affects 1 in 10 Australian children. Follow in other's footsteps and instal a sign that asks food not be eaten on the play equipment and that children wipe/wash hands before using.

Public art
SWELL sculpture festival is currently on. It would be fabulous to add some public art to the park. There are also numerous local artists in the area who could be commissioned to create a work. Better still pay a local artist to create a piece with kids from the high school.

A playground that can be used by all ages
Shaded, on soft footing, low to the ground or easily accessible by steps or ladders. Fun for all ages including toddlers. Slides, swings, and climbing frames are great. And a sea saw. Must have benches to sit on/park tables, and toilet block is a must!

Shady trees
Shade trees There are many ideas that can be utilised for park upgrades. But, sadly, the focus tends to be on items people want to use for active engagement. Especially in summer, the parks that attract families, the more mature and kids especially are those with big shady trees with large canopies. These allow visitors to escape the sun, take picnics, and generally relax. Perhaps the best example in the (larger) region is the use of the Banyan trees at New Farm Park (Brisbane). While these trees are mature, the example demonstrates how valued they are by park lovers. So, my suggestion is to design the park around large spreading trees. And, when implementing the eventual design, select as mature trees as possible to assist in the earliest enjoyment of the shade.
