Have your say on how we play!

Central Coast Council revising its Playspace Strategy – a five-year plan that guides how we plan, build, and care for playspaces across the region. Your feedback will help shape the future of these important community spaces.

We’ll then use your feedback to create a revised draft Playspace Strategy that we’ll present back to you so you can let us know if we got it right.

Playspaces play an important role in the lives of our community – from young to old – and we proudly manage and maintain over 270 across the Central Coast.

These popular outdoor spaces are where we socialise, keep active and connect with each other and provide a wide range of benefits for the region. For our children, playspaces offer multiple activities allowing for play and learning in fun spaces that develop their physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills.

  • What is a playspace

    Playspaces are more than the play equipment - they include a ‘whole of park’ experience and can offer spaces for multiple activities and play experiences within the reserve or park for a range of abilities - often with supporting infrastructure (for example, seating, pathways, drinking water etc.).

Local, District and Regional Playspaces

  • Local Playspaces

    Local playspaces sit within local parks and cater to surrounding residents located generally within a 400-800m radius for short stay.

  • District Playspaces

    District playspaces are medium size and service residents in a 1 to 2 km radius and co-located with other facilities for a stay longer than 2 hours.

  • Regional Playspaces

    Regional playspaces are the largest sized with the greatest variety of equipment and include ancillary facilities such as car parking and other activities such as skate parks or half courts. These playspaces service residents within a 5–10 km radius but also attract visitors across the whole region.
