Last year, we worked with Stage 3 students (Years 5 and 6) from Barrack Heights Public School to help shape the design of their new local park.

We are excited to see their ideas brought to life at Jock Brown playground which is open now. The playground opened after the students involved in its design came out to visit the finished space and worked with Sydney Water and our bush regeneration team to learn about sustainable water use and how to plant in a water resilient way.

This exciting new playground features a new piece of equipment for the city, a Hurricane swing!

Other elements of the playground include:

🏰 Climbing tower and slippery dip

😄 Double swing bay with nest, infant, and strap swings

💫 Accessible spinner

🌾 Creek bed play zone

🌳 Native trees and shrubs for natural shade

💺 Seating (a mix of informal and formal)

A shoutout to Sydney Water for their $10,000 Community Grant! Thanks to this support, our park now features a dry creek bed that enhances water resilience and drainage. 🤝

Jock Brown Park is located off 📍 Gipps Cres, Barrack Heights.
