Council proudly invests in and manages 260 playspaces across the Central Coast, delivering on our communities’ vision for activated spaces and places for communities to build social networks. 

Effectively designed playgrounds and parks encourage play at all levels and offer a place for children to learn, exercise, reflect, run, explore and take safe risks; they are places where children can meet with friends and have fun with family members.

The past twelve months has seen the design, construction and delivery of 18 new or renewed local playspaces across the region and five playspace upgrades. Community feedback has guided the concept plans for new playspaces and we are again seeking community input into the draft Central Coast Playspace Strategy.  

This strategy was developed to set consistent guidelines for the development and sustainable management of playspaces across the whole Central Coast region. This includes delivery of future playspaces that are appropriately located with equal distribution across the region, and are well designed, inclusive and will further develop our network of quality playspaces to provide a range of play experiences catering to the varied needs of our community.

Our 20-year management program provides a long-term strategy for regular inspection, repair, replacement and upgrades to ensure the safety and maintenance of these valued playspaces.

To view the draft Central Coast Playspace Strategy, playspace FAQs and list of region’s playspaces go to yourvoiceourcoast.com.  Feedback is open until 14 August.
