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.Hogarth Way Reserve is classified as a local park.
The playground is due for renewal, presenting an opportunity to explore what the community envisions for the future of the reserve, including whether to renew or remove the existing playground. Engaging with the community is key to building a sense of pride and ownership. Your input helps us create a reserve that everyone can enjoy and feel connected to.
