The hierarchy of parks within the City reflect state documentation/strategies. These classifications are based on the number of anticipated visitors and the distance they are drawn from:
- District parks - people will attend from over two kilometres
- Neighbourhood parks - residents from 800 metres
- Local parks - residents from approximately 400 metres
- Pocket parks - incidental green spaces around the City.
The amount of facilities/infrastructure provided at 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.
Mick Jahn Reserve is classified as a
local park.
To ensure the upgrades meets local needs, we want you to help choose the best design. Engaging with the community is key to building a sense of pride and ownership.
