Putting the play in playford

We know that people experience increased wellbeing when they spend time outside in spaces that look and feel nice. As part of Council’s commitment to building an active and connected community, this year we plan to build new parks, renew existing reserves and revamp recreation infrastructure all over the city. From a brand new neighbourhood park in Munno Para West to new toilets at Blake’s Crossing, two new dog parks at Fremont Park, right through to irrigation upgrades for grassed areas, the investment in play spaces will help more people access outdoor spaces across the city.
