It’s already one of the best public parks in South West Sydney, but Campbelltown Council thinks it can make Koshigaya Park even better
Council has prepared a draft concept plan to upgrade the play space at Koshigaya Park, which will include a range of inclusive new play equipment and landscape features honouring Campbelltown’s long standing sister city relationship with Koshigaya.
The centrepiece of the proposed playground upgrades is the feature play equipment, a large origami crane, which is a symbol of hope, peace and good fortune.
But the council wants to know what residents think about this plan before proceeding to the next stage with it.
“This is the most significant upgrade planned for the playground at Koshigaya Park for many years so I strongly encourage residents to view the plans and have their say on the future of this popular playground,” says Campbelltown Mayor Darcy Lound.
“Koshigaya Park honours Campbelltown’s connection to our sister city Koshigaya and this design reflects the bond between the two cities through a series of Japanese themes while also providing an exciting range of new play equipment for families to enjoy,” Cr Lound said.
Other features of the draft concept plan include:
New play equipment including, swings, carousel, climbing, spinners and pendulum swing, toddler play equipment, embankment play equipment, a flying fox and more are included in the proposed improvements.
Also part of the plan is the retention of existing trees and planting of new Cherry Blossom trees.
Other features proposed are new footpath connections, Aboriginal cultural elements, including a series of artworks and carvings, new picnic area and picnic shelters.
Residents can view the plans online or attend a community consultation session to view them in-person.
The playground is part of a new masterplan for the future of Koshigaya Park, which will be presented to the community in the near future.
