Public consultation period to
Community meeting
Join us on Thursday 1 June 2023.
Why we’re doing this
In late 2022, we conducted another round of consultation on the proposed design for Woolloomooloo Playground. We held a public meeting in the park and a workshop with Plunkett Street Public School students and we spoke with school representatives.
The community asked us to:
- keep the playground the same size
- increase the variety of equipment to cater for older children and more group play
- use more natural materials
- maximise and maintain the lawn area next to the playground
- provide safe and accessible routes in and around the park
- provide more seating and relocate bins
- install public toilets nearby (subject to development application).
What we’re doing
This feedback was taken into consideration and the updated design now includes:
- a fully fenced playground which is the same size as the existing one
- a play structure with climbing net and slides
- a basket swing and a swing with a baby seat, a multi-user see-saw, a springer and spinner, monkey bars, a climbing net carousel and a rock climbing structure
- nature play including stepping stones and logs, cluster poles, sandstone boulders and scrambling net
- new plants and trees within the playground
- a larger grass area
- better connections between the playground and barbecue area
- more seating in both sunny and shaded locations
- relocated bins
- a new water bubbler and dog bowl
- improved lighting and paths.

Improving safety on Pring Street
Some residents asked us to consider making Pring Street one-way to improve safety for people walking. We found that one-way uphill would leave no room for garbage trucks to safely turn, while one-way downhill would not be safe due to vehicle speeds and poor visibility for people walking and driving at the bottom of the hill.
We’re now looking at installing traffic calming measures instead and we’ll keep you updated.
Next steps
We’ll report all feedback and design changes to Council and will continue to a detailed design. We’ll keep you updated on the progress of this project.
