Unplanned replacement works now underway

We apologise for any inconvenience

Unfortunately, due to recent vandalism in February 2022, the existing main play unit has been irreparably damaged.

Council has investigated if the damaged slides can be repaired or replaced and the manufacturer has advised that they can’t be. Therefore, unfortunately the entire playground unit will need to be replaced.

We will replace the damaged unit through an insurance claim. We do not yet have a replacement date.
Updates will be provided here as information becomes available.

Will this affect the proposed playground upgrade?

No. This will have no affect on the delivery of the expansion unit due for installation in late April 2022.
Please see an update on the consultation outcome below.

Project update for February 2022 - planned upgrade

Windermere Park playground in Pakenham will receive an enhancement this financial year. The existing playground will stay, and new equipment will be installed in the empty space(s).

Thank you for your feedback about your preferred option for playground equipment.

Option 2 - Climbing Cube, shown below, was the preferred option.

We have now ordered this equipment and installation is expected to start in late April 2022.
