We’re upgrading the playground at Reservoir Reserve on Grange Road in Kew. If you've been to Kew Traffic School, you've likely visited this playground which is right next door!
We’re inviting you to share your ideas to help us design the new playground. We want to keep what you love and add new play equipment to make it even better.
Consultation is open until 5 pm Wednesday 9 April.
Why we’re building a new playground 🛠️
The current playground was built in 2003. Most of the play items are nearing the end of their life and need to be replaced. To keep it fun, safe and inclusive for years to come, we need to update all of the play equipment.
Our aim is to:
- build a playground that meets the needs of children and families into the future
- improve accessibility around the playground.
About the playground upgrade 👷♂️
This playground is classified as a district playground in our Playground Development Strategy.
A playground’s category determines the budget, design focus and scope of the upgrade.

- New play equipment
- Playground colours
- Whether the playground has a theme
The following will stay the same because they are still in good condition:
- Half-basketball court
- Seating around the playground
- Footpaths
The following items are out of scope for this upgrade:
- Barbecue
- Car park
- Fencing
- Water and sand play – the size of the playground and maintenance requirements mean this site is not able to accommodate sand play or water play.
- Shade sails – We plan to plant more trees to add more natural shade around the playground.
