Burtons Reserve Playground Upgrade

Current Status

Our contractor has been working hard to have the new playground open for Christmas, but unfortunately there been some delays with the transport of the new equipment. We are aiming to have the playground open in time for the Cygnet Folk Festival in the second week of January, with final touches to be complete the following week. We are looking forward to having this wonderful playground back open to the public!

Background

Several elements of the playground equipment are due for renewal and will be upgraded as part of Council’s asset renewal program (replacement of an existing asset to equivalent capacity or performance capability). These elements include the timber boat., swing sets and other equipment.

Located in Cygnet, Burtons Reserve is a popular recreation area offering a range of facilities to the community.

Due to the contractor’s early availability, work on the Burtons Reserve Playground commenced on 6 November 2024.

Following the Council Report 18.005/24 Council has been working on plans for the upgrade to the playground.

This playground will feature large and small slide, a fully accessible ramp, accessible path and lots of interactive play with sea theme.

In listening to the community, the shade sail will be placed over the picnic tables which are located next to the playground. This will provide much needed shade for parents watching their children play.
