All Abilities Playground
Greater Shepparton’s All Abilities Playground provides a wealth of play opportunities for children and families of all abilities. Designed and maintained with access as a key priority.
This playground is located on the western edge of the lake, to the south of Aquamoves and adjacent to the Goulburn River suspension bridge. This site offers an attractive natural setting in a prominent location. While removed from highly trafficked areas, the site is still highly visible from across the lake. The playground is easily accessible due to its location on the shared path network and close proximity to Ardmona KidsTown.
The playground was designed by Mary Jeavons Landscape Architects in consultation with the local Council and the community.
The total cost for the playground was $450,000.00, this amount comprised of:
- Council $250,000.00
- Sport & Recreation Victoria $200,000.00
Greater Shepparton’s All Abilities Playground provides a wealth of play opportunities for children and families of all abilities. Designed and maintained with access as a key priority, the playground provides a series of ramps and structures that allow for children and parents in wheelchairs or with limited mobility to move throughout the area. Plans are also in ready for the introduction of features and play items that provide visual, audio and tactile stimulation and interaction.
The playground is fully surrounded by a 1.8m high fence and provides a safe and secure environment for children and the opportunity for parents and carers to relax and enjoy outings without the constant worry of children moving outside of the play area. Three family sized toilets and change rooms form part of the playground, with all designed to cater for wheelchair access and mobility.
Several picnic areas are available with and without shelter and a BBQ Facility. Whilst the playground cannot be exclusively booked, picnic and open space areas can be reserved for special events through the Council Leisure Services Department.
