St James Park improvement works

What we’re doing

Improvement works started in January 2014. Works included a new adventure playground with a timber tree house and deck, slippery slide, a fireman's pole, climbing bar, basket swing and a covered sandpit for toddlers.

A new amenities pod features baby-change facilities, water saving fixtures and a transparent roof to maximise natural light and reduce electricity use. A kitchenette is also included. 

Other improvements include:

• new Plexipave surface, fencing and lighting on the tennis court
• new paths, gardens, plantings and a lawn terrace
• upgraded furniture and lighting
• new water bubbler and more signage
• interpretive artwork by local school children. 

The works were completed in December 2014.
