read moreAs part of their Neighbourhood Parks Improvements Program, the City of Ballarat is seeking community input towards improving seven of Ballarat's local parks.
Users of these local parks are being asked to comment on how the reserves can be improved in terms of accessibility, attractiveness, and usability.
The proposed designs will also aim to provide natural shade and increase pedestrian connections.
This series builds on the success of the Small Parks Improvements program that saw 12 neighbourhood parks improved across 2022 and 2023 in collaboration with local residents who use the parks.
The Neighbourhood Parks Improvements Program is a rolling project at the City of Ballarat.
The project involves designing reserves in collaboration with the users of the spaces every financial year and delivering the upgrades in the following financial year.
City of Ballarat Mayor Des Hudson said that the neighbourhood parks for this group had been selected based on need and community requests.
"Parks that are chosen have not had upgrades in more than fifteen years or so and have older equipment that no longer suits the needs of the community that use the spaces or have been nominated through a community request," he said.
Neighbourhood parks, marked for design collaboration with their local users this year are:
To start the design process, residents are asked to provide their feedback on their local reserve. This input will be used to create a concept design for improvements at the reserve.
The City of Ballarat will then bring the designs back to the neighbourhood, to make sure the proposed plans will work for the local community.
