As part of our Capital Works Program Financial Year 25-26, Council is spending $340,000 on upgrading two
playgrounds in Croydon and Ashfield:
- Albert Parade Reserve, Albert Parade, Ashfield
- Anthony Street Reserve, Anthony Street, Croydon
We are at the early stages and are seeking your feedback which will help inform the new playground designs.
The feedback we receive during the consultation will inform the new playground designs. This could include
- Selection of play equipment

Last day to provide feedback is Monday 25 August 2025
Between 24 February 2025 and 20 March 2025, we consulted the community about the overall reserve asking for comments about proposed improvements.
Some of the feedback received earlier this year related to the playground and this will be used to help inform the new playground design.
You can read about that consultation here.
This engagement is seeking detailed feedback about the playground specifically.
All feedback received will be reviewed and consolidated into a report. Everyone who participated will be notified of the outcomes.
The feedback captured will inform the design plans for the future upgrades of this playground.
Construction is scheduled to take place by the end of 2025.
