Exciting news! Clarinda Park Playground at 38 - 56 Clarinda Road, Essendon, is getting a makeover, and we want your input! We've created a concept plan that keeps all of the play elements you know and love (such as the swings, slide, ladder, trak ride and 4-way springer), while introducing some fresh new features designed to spark even more fun and adventure.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re proposing for the upgraded playground:

  • A high rope climb for thrilling challenges
  • Cluster climbers for imaginative play
  • Rock stepping stones to test your balance
  • A sand digger for creative digging fun
  • An adventure trail to explore and enjoy
  • An obstacle trail with rocks and timber logs for daring explorers
  • A shade sail to keep things cool and comfortable
  • Balance beams to practice agility
  • An additional picnic bench for relaxing and gathering

As this is a smaller park there is no capacity to install a public toilet or sporting facilities at the site.

We consulted with community about this design from 25 November - 22 December. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our survey, call us and email us - we're now reviewing all feedback received.
