The hierarchy of parks within the City 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 the space:
- District parks - people will be drawn from over two kilometres
- Neighbourhood parks - residents from 800 metres
- Local parks - residents from approximately 400 metres
- 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, travel distance 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.
John O’Sullivan Park is classified as a
local park.
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.
There are no further opportunities for engagement.
Feedback received from the consultation determined which play equipment design would be used to replace the existing playground.
