Logan Village Green will by December have a bird’s nest, trampolines, a flying fox, totem poles with ropes and a dry creek bed flanked by timber steppers and balance beams.
The $1.6 million upgrade to the adventure playground was inspired by community feedback.
Planning dates back to a 2018 Logan Village Forum, where the project was identified as a priority.
A ‘Place to Play’ event was then held last year to hear out what children wanted in a playground design.
Play equipment includes a universal access spinner and an all-abilities multi-swing.
There’s also a small amphitheatre, a shelter and seating, a barbecue, an upgraded water bubbler, additional lighting and signage and an avenue of large trees.
A safety camera is already installed in the area, which is monitored 24/7.
City Lifestyle Committee Chairperson and local Division 4 Councillor Laurie Koranski said: “Council understands how important free open spaces like the Logan Village Green
are to local communities.
“That’s why it was important that the community was involved in every step of the planning and design.”
Council spent $1.1 million into the upgrade and the Federal Government $500,000.
“All new structures and elements have been designed to reflect the rural and heritage character of the Village,” Cr Koranski said.
“Locals and visitors have always loved spending time in the Village Green and this upgrade will further enhance those enjoyable times.”
