Alison Harris Park Upgrades

Alison Harris Park Upgrades

Closed

This playground is being upgraded – we asked you to vote for your favourite design.

Last Updated: 14 November 2024 Follow Engagement

Exciting changes are coming to Alison Harris Park in Kardinya. We’re renewing the playground and have gathered feedback from local residents and park users about your preferred design. We developed three fantastic options for you to choose from, and your thoughts are vital in shaping a playground everyone can enjoy!

While we’re not implementing a full master plan, this playground upgrade will include additional enhancements such as new seating, improved access around the playground, nature play area, inclusion of a picnic table and additional tree planting.

Engaging with the community is key to building a sense of pride and ownership. Your input helps us create a playground that everyone can enjoy and feel connected to.

What is park hierarchy?

The hierarchy of parks, within Melville is pocket, local, neighbourhood and district and reflects state documentation/strategies.

This hierarchy is based on the number of anticipated visitors and the distance they are drawn from to attend this space. For example, with district parks it is anticipated people will be drawn from over 2 kilometres, neighbourhood parks are anticipated to draw residents from 800 metres and local parks residents from approximately 400 metres and pocket parks are the incidental green spaces around the City.

The amount of facilities/infrastructure provided on each space reflects the size and use of the reserve and the distance required travelling and therefore the anticipated duration of time spent on-site.

The distribution of district, neighbourhood and local parks allows us to have a balanced level of the quality of space across the City.Alison Harris Park is classified as a Local Park.

Why did we engage the community?
To ensure the new playground meets local needs, we asked you to help choose the best design. Engaging with the community is key to building a sense of pride and ownership. Your input helps us create a playground that everyone can enjoy and feel connected to.
