Residents can enjoy the double play tower with giant slides, basketball area, scooter-friendly paths, children’s running track and other features that have proven successful in neighbouring parks.

A dedicated and fenced dog park, with agility equipment and seating, was added mid-design thanks to resident requests made to the Council.

Many dogs with their owners have already visited the dog park in the early spring weather.

The new parks and playground are over four acres in size, next to the Manor Lakes Sales Office, Good Manors Café and opposite the future Village town centre.

The Playground

The recognisable double slide tower provides a wide view across the park, Manor Lakes and along Lollipop Creek.

The towers are surrounded by single and multi-person swings, a roundabout, hammocks and play climbers.

For bigger kids (and adults) the sports area includes a half basketball court, fitness gym and down-ball courts.

Event Facilities

Double and single shelters with BBQs and picnic facilities are provided free for small to large groups.

Designers included both toilet and hand-washing facilities which allow for longer events or playground sessions, suitable for younger and older family members.

Also included is a gravel market space with market-stall spaces under canopy trees for future markets and events.

The Landscape

Plants within the heart of the play area were selected for their hardiness. There’s a likelihood they’ll be the subject of childhood curiosity or get in the way of wandering feet.

Native plants and trees also have a natural adaptation to the area, which means they should establish quickly and grow in the coming months and years.

The park was designed by Tract, an Australian landscape architecture and town planning firm operating since 1973.

Getting There

Visit Manor Lakes Boulevard Park, on Manor Lakes Boulevard west of Ison Road.

Get a morning coffee at Good Manors before stretching your legs among the native trees.
