Hegarty Park, Albion Park

Hegarty Park Playground Albion Park (Moles Street) is a 'local' park located within a suburban area to the west of the suburb. This location has been a well loved location for local families.

The current playground will be renewed and Council wants to hear from the community about what the space might look like. Take some time to complete the survey and share your feedback now!

About the project

In April 2024 Shellharbour City Council visited primary schools in the area to ask students what they want to see in local parks and playgrounds. Council staff ran a workshop on play with students from Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4).

For Hegarty Park, we asked 55 students from Year 4 of St Paul's Albion Park to share their feedback on what should be included. The ideas we heard revolved around creating an active playground with designated areas to chill and relax.

Take a look at the design concepts we came up with based on their feedback and let us know which one you prefer!

Please note: These designs are concept only, the final design may vary slightly based on location requirements and other feedback.
