About the project
We are planning for an upgrade at Ferndale Reserve as part of Frankston City Council's Play Strategy 2021.
Ferndale Reserve is located at Ferndale Drive, Frankston with pedestrian access from Ferndale Drive.
The proposed upgrades to the play space aim to provide a broader range of play elements, improved access and inclusion. The upgrade will include more tree planting and landscaping improvements.
Construction works are expected to begin in late 2025 and be completed by early 2026.
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.
Ferndale Reserve is identified as a local major play space which is intended to service the immediate local area (400m walking catchment) for regular short-term stays (up to an hour).
As a local major play space with a shorter stay time, the upgrade is focused on a range of ages and offers physical play opportunities. This upgrade does not include public bathrooms or BBQs.
The proposed upgrade includes:
- New play structure
- Basketball shooting circle
- Triple bay swing including basket swing
- Rope play
- Flying saucer
- Picnic Shelter
- Picnic Setting and Seats
- Tree planting and associated landscaping works
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!
