About the project
We’re upgrading the Gamble Reserve play space in 2025 as part of Frankston City Council's Play Strategy 2021.
Gamble Reserve is located at Gamble Road, Carrum Downs, with pedestrian entry points from Gamble Road, Tyntynder Drive and Heatherleigh Court.
The proposed upgrade to the play space and landscaping aims to provide a broader range of play opportunities, improve access, inclusion and better connectivity.
Construction works are expected to begin in by late 2025.
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.
Gamble Reserve is identified as a local major level 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 level play space, with a shorter stay time, the upgrade is focused on pre-school, junior and can also be for a variety of ages to provide different play opportunities and does not include public bathrooms or BBQs. The proposed upgrades include:
- Swing-set
- Basket swing
- Climbing cube
- Combination play unit
- Balance tri-roka
- Nature play
- Picnic setting
- Seat
- Associated landscaping
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!
