The park will be more than just a place to kick a ball, with numerous features and amenities including provision of a BBQ facility and picnic tables, a playground for local families, fitness stations linked to a shared use path, half court basketball, custom concrete seats designed to commemorate the former university campus and football goal posts for informal kick abouts.

The design features of the park are a clever mix that encompasses relaxation, active leisure and exposure to local culture and learning. 

The parkland will also showcase a number of different pieces of public art that celebrate the natural environment and the educational heritage of the site.   Within the park, there are two bird roosting poles that are made out of recycled materials.  The structures will encourage nesting birds and micro-bats to establish in the area.


In the amphitheatre, artwork which depicts knowledge and learning will commemorate the history of the site which saw Churchlands Green begin life as a Catholic school, change to a teacher’s training college and then on to a university.
 
A formal launch is planned for the Spring. This will be a community fair for the whole family including a sausage sizzle, entertainment for children and lots more. Keep an eye out for further information in the coming months.
