• Social development
• Mental health
• Cognitive skills
• Connection to nature.

Backstory

The City of Canning has over 100 playgrounds of varying age, condition, configuration and size.

Based on community feedback, and a review of our current playgrounds, we developed our Play Provision Strategy - our plan for playgrounds and play spaces over the next 20 years.

The Strategy aims to make the City's playgrounds appropriate, fun, stimulating and more accessible for everyone.

Through the community feedback process, the community told us they wanted playgrounds with:

More shade

A focus on nature and adventure play, and

More inclusive and accessible play spaces.
