And the winner is....

Option 1 - the Nursery Rhyme themed playground.

Thank you to the almost 500 people who voted on their preferred option for the playground design at Wollundry Park.

The nursery rhyme theme (Option 1) received 53.6% of the votes and will therefore be the design that will be constructed for the playground.



In response to community feedback, some minor changes have been made to the design including:

  • retaining the fun / bright colour scheme at ground level and slowly transitioning to a more 'natural' colour palate for the taller pieces
  • increasing the play provision for older kids by redesigning the play tower and including monkey bars to provide more challenging play opportunities
  • amending the toddler unit to include an open double slide with stepped platform access, to allow toddlers to play independently, as well as a shop front underdeck for role play.

Construction is scheduled to commence in mid-2024 and be completed by mid to late 2024.

The Proposal

In late 2023, Wollundry Park playground at Pennant Hills was damaged by vandalism, resulting in the playground equipment being unusable by the community.

Since then, we have worked with two play equipment manufacturers to develop two different options for the playground and we now need your help to decide which one is the best for the Wollundry Park playground.

All feedback received during consultation will be reviewed and used to inform the final playground upgrade.

Both concepts include:

  • new equipment for kids of all ages
  • accessible and inclusive elements
  • fully fenced playground
  • retaining existing mature trees, which provides extensive shade coverage to the playground
  • new seating and picnic shelter
  • new drinking fountain
  • rubber softfall surfacing.

Which concept do you prefer?

  • Option 1: Nursery Rhyme

    This 'Nursery Rhyme' design features bright and colourful equipment to link to the nearby Library and community centre. The feature play tower has a 'Humpty Dumpty' theme and includes a large climbing frame, rope bridge, a 1.5m high double slide and a 2.5m high tube slide.

    The shelter has been relocated, allowing the play area to be expanded and more equipment to be provided within the fenced area.

  • Option 2: Fairytale

    This 'Fairytale' design features equipment which complements the colour palette of the leafy park setting. The feature play tower has a 'Jack and the Beanstalk' theme and includes a climbing tower, a 3m high single slide and a 4m high tube slide.

    The shelter has been retained within the fenced play area.
