Inlet Reserve is getting an upgrade!
We'll be replacing the playground, shade structure, fitness equipment, and public toilet facilities at Inlet Reserve. The new playground and fitness equipment will be modern, accessible, and inclusive — making this the City of Charles Sturt's first fully inclusive playground designed to support all kinds of play for everyone.Quick overview of proposed changes
Proposed Design
What are the proposed changes?
Why These Changes?
The Inlet Reserve playground and fitness equipment have served us well, but it's time for a refresh. The upgrade has been carefully planned to ensure a more accessible and inclusive space. This means better paths, improved parking, and equipment that works for everyone in our community.
A Playground for Everyone
The proposed design features a basket swing, accessible trampoline, and a play structure with wheelchair ramps. Rubber softfall flooring and paved pathways will ensure easy wheelchair access across the entire playground. Disability parking will be relocated closer to the play area, and we're adding safety fencing along the waterside. There is also the addition of nature play and sensory play elements—including sand, musical, and water play, and other interactive features.
More Shade, More Fun
The addition of new shade sails over most of the playground space to keep everyone cool while they play.
Updated toilet facilities
We are updating the toilets, and the accessible public toilets will be relocated closer to the play and fitness areas. The upgraded facilities will be partially fenced and designed with accessibility, safety and visibility in mind.
Currently there are two disabled carparks. We are looking into further improvements to make the access to this reserve even better.
