    Hi AnnaJ, thanks for your question and interest in the playground at Balmoral Reserve. The upgrade works are close to being finished, with the anticipated completion date and opening to the public this Friday (16 September).
    Kind regards, Joanne

  • Share I haven't noticed a flying fox. These are popular with children, the one at Valley View playground near North East Road is extremely popular because it's reachable. Whereas the Banksia Park Playground on Spring St. is very high and too difficult for most primary school children to reach. on Facebook Share I haven't noticed a flying fox.

    Hi NW

    Thanks for your comments. A flying fox is something we would consider, however as it is a large piece of equipment it would depend on the cost and available budget. Your suggestion will be included along with the other community feedback we receive.

    If you haven't already, we encourage you to provide further feedback via the online feedback form.

    Kind regards, Sarah
