We’re looking for your ideas to help us redesign two of your local playgrounds – Johnson Park and Hoskins Park, Dulwich Hill.

We would love you to share your thoughts about what you love, what's not working and what you'd like to see in the upgrades to ensure these playgrounds meet the needs and interests of this community.

The key aim in both playgrounds is to enhance play opportunities and improve facilities to cater to a diversity of ages and abilities.

Johnson Park and Hoskins Park playgrounds are due for an upgrade as part of the implementation of the Dulwich Hill Parklands Plan of Management. The Master Plans for each playground will form the basis of the designs. You can view the Master Plans in Part 2 of the Plan of Management.

Construction will occur in conjunction with GreenWay works. Once complete, Johnson and Hoskins Parks will be connected by an accessible path along the light rail corridor. You can view the GreenWay concept designs and keep track of the progress on the GreenWay website.

We’re hoping you can help us to design two unique yet complimentary spaces to suit your needs. Should each playground have its own theme, or should the theme be the same so you can continue a playful adventure from one space to the next? Should one be a specialised playground for intergenerational play, while the other is aimed at older children?

We’re open to your ideas – let us know what you think!
