Hurter-Finch Reserve is located at 33 Dobell St, Blackburn South. In September 2025, we asked the community to share their ideas to help inform the upgrade of the play space at Hurter-Finch Reserve. We received 43 submissions through the Your Say survey as part of the first stage of community engagement.
Feedback showed that the most valued features of the existing playground are the junior and adult swings, slide, climbing elements and monkey bars. The community would like to see these popular elements included in the new design.
The most supported ideas to include in the new playground were a rope climbing structure, basket swing, rock climbing wall and spinner.
The community also shared ideas for additional features like bins, a picnic table, shelter and adult fitness equipment. These could not be included due to the project scope and budget.
Please note: this is a concept plan only and may be subject to change. It is proposed that this will be built by the end of June 2026, weather permitting.
