Brunel Reserve Play Space

About the project

We’re upgrading Brunel Reserve in 2024 as part of Frankston City Council's Play Strategy 2021. Brunel Reserve is located at 2R Maple Street, Seaford.

The proposed upgrades to the playspace aim to provide a broader range of play types, improved access and inclusion, and better connect the play space to surrounding amenity.

Works are expected to begin in September 2024 and be completed by December 2024.

What upgrades are proposed?

The Play Strategy outlines a range of service levels for play spaces across the municipality which guide the features and facilities that can be included in each space. The proposed upgrades include:

Junior and toddler play unit
Senior play tower
Multiple swing sets
Basket swing
Refurbished tractor
Spinner
Junior rockers
Nature play
Seats
Bike hoops

We invite you to review our concept plan below, and to share your feedback via our short survey. We understand that the community highly values its play spaces, and we appreciate the time taken to share your thoughts with us!

What is a local play space?

Local play spaces service a 400m walkable area for regular short term stays (up to one hour). They are typically located within a small local reserve. Local play spaces focus on pre-school and junior play activities, seating and shade. Local play spaces are serviced fortnightly and therefore can't include high maintenance features like toilets and barbeques.

These features are often considered for local (minor) and local (major) play spaces.
