Lipscombe Park playspace renewal

StatusUnderway
Approx. start dateOctober 2025

The playspace at Lipscombe Park in Croydon is being renewed in October 2025.

As part of Council’s 25/26 Capital Works Playspace Improvement program, Council is currently renewing the existing playspace at Lipscombe Park.

The new playspace will provide inclusive structural play elements that promote physical activity, social interactions, problem solving, safe risk taking, lead and follow, inclusion, cooperation and sharing.

Features will include:

The new playspace will feature two large play units, two slides, two upper body elements including monkey bars and track slide, standalone elements including spinner, see-saw and rocker, one multi-bay swing unit including different swings for different ages and abilities, and one nest swing.

Also included in the works will be the renewal of the playspace surface, new bench seats and picnic seat, pathway upgrades and landscaping works. To improve safety and security of the playspace a mesh fence will also be constructed around the perimeter of the play area. This will also reduce the risk of balls rolling onto the road and off-lead dogs entering the playspace.

The playspace renewal works have started and works are scheduled to take 8 weeks, subject to contractor and material availability.
