Randwick City Council is upgrading the playground at Kokoda Memorial Park, Kensington.

In mid-2019, we asked the community to tell us how the new playground should be designed. More than 40 playgrounds were designed by local kids aged 1 to 11 years old, some with a little help from mum and dad.

What we heard:
Parents and children want a playground for all ages, where big kids and little kids can jump, swing, climb and slide. We listened and are proposing bigger swings, and rope play with monkey bars for the big kids, as well as a toddler swing, seesaw, and a new boat for imaginative play for the little ones. The playground will also feature a wheelchair accessible carousel and sound sensory play equipment.

This tired, but much loved park is getting a little spruce up! Randwick City Council is planning to upgrade the playground at Kokoda Memorial Park, Ascot Street Kensington.

The upgrade will include new soft fall, a new fence and plantings. But most importantly, it will include new play equipment.

We would love to hear from the little (and big!) people of Randwick City to help us create a fun and interactive playground.
