The City of Marion is upgrading the playground at Marion Oval. This project was identified as a key priority in the Open Space Plan 2024-2034. The playground upgrade will improve and increase the play options at the oval.

Designed to create a more vibrant and engaging space for the community, the upgraded playground will offer expanded play opportunities for local residents, visitors and club members. Conveniently located between Club Marion, the football/cricket oval and soccer pitches, the new playground will become a central hub for recreation, connection and family fun.

The new draft design features:

• A large main play structure with shade, tunnel slide, junior slide, pommel crossing, climbing elements, games and sensory panels
• Handball panel
• Double-bay swing set including a toddler swing, strap swing and basket swing
• New bench seating
• New landscaping and garden beds
• A new pathway connecting through the playground

The existing shade structure will be retained, while the old cricket nets will be removed to create additional space for the new playground experience.

We are currently seeking your feedback on the draft concept plan and your level of support. Your feedback will help shape the final design. The outcomes of this survey will be considered alongside budget, safety standards, and site constraints when finalising the design.
