Caloola Park - New Playground

Council is preparing to design and construct a new playground at Caloola Park.

Caloola Park is located in the middle of a residential area of Lennox Head, close to the Epiq Marketplace and Hutley Drive Sports Fields. It is a gently sloping open space park with several mature trees including a large fig tree.

Have Your Say

We are seeking input from the community on the type of playground and equipment that they would like considered for this project so that we can design the new play space in response to community needs and expectations.

The design for the new playground must be able to integrate with the existing features and constraints of the site. The playground will be a local playground renewal with typical levels of embellishment as outlined below.

Local playground

• Typically located on smaller open space reserves within residential areas
• servicing a 500m catchment
• include 1-2 items of play equipment
• rely on natural shade where possible
• have minimal supporting infrastructure
• cost $50,000 - $150,000* to construct the playground.

* Note: The indicative costs are for supply and install of the playground equipment with impact attenuation surfacing (soft fall) and shade only. Any ancillary infrastructure and additional landscaping will cost additional.
