Quarries Park is Yarra's largest playground. It's a space for the local community and for everyone in Yarra to visit and enjoy. We want to improve the existing playground and elevate its status as a vibrant destination play space.

Between 17 February and 17 March 2025, we sought your feedback to understand what elements of the current playground are important to keep, and what equipment needs to be upgraded or added. This will help inform the development of a draft Concept Design.

Some important considerations as we develop the design include:

  • using durable and natural materials in a bush setting
  • aiming to keep many of the existing play elements that are important to park users
  • offering discovery, play and adventure opportunities for children as well as everyone in the community.
