Concept Design – Prices Circuit Reserve Playground, Woronora

Consultation period: 24 February to 25 March 2025

After consultation with our local community, Council is excited to provide an update on the playground renewal at Prices Circuit Reserve, Woronora.

Council has confirmed the final location for the playground as Proposed Location A: Prices Circuit further to the north of the existing playground and closer to the shopping complex carpark.

A Tree Assessment and Risk Assessment has been completed, which shows the preferrable location for the new playground is in the clearing amongst existing trees.

The proposed concept design includes:

  • A new playground with sliding, swinging and spinning/balancing equipment
  • New amenities including a picnic table and seating.

Community feedback helped shape this concept design as follows:

  • The location of the playground being closer to the carpark and shops and away from trees/falling branches
  • All trees will be retained and pruned for safety where necessary
  • Views to the river will be maintained as well as the peaceful character of the area through the choice of materials and colours
  • To mitigate the impacts of flooding, the playground will be raised slightly with a synthetic grass softfall surface.

Have your say

To assist Council in finalising the concept design for the playground, we are seeking your feedback.

You can provide feedback until 25 March 2025:

  • Online by taking the survey below
  • Email OpenSpace@ssc.nsw.gov.au
  • In writing to Open Space Assets, Sutherland Shire Council, Locked Bag 17, Sutherland 1499

Next steps

Council will review and consider all community feedback. We may make some changes before the design is finalised.

It is expected that work will start on the playground in the second half of 2025. We will keep our community updated on progress.

  • Update on Concept Design at Prices Circuit Reserve, Woronora

    We're listening - Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

    Council has reviewed the feedback received and understands the community prefers alternative uses at Prices Circuit Reserve that caters to adults, older persons, and all-abilities recreation. As a result, we have decided not to proceed with the playground proposal.

    Council resolved at its meeting on 28 April 2025 to undertake further community consultation to gather feedback on removing the playground service at Prices Circuit Reserve and explore ideas for alternative uses.

    We acknowledge the significant community feedback expressing a preference for alternative uses of Prices Circuit Reserve, particularly catering to adults, older persons, and all-abilities recreation.

    To read more about Council's decision, you can view the report and minutes from the meeting on our website.

    More information on how you can have your say on Prices Circuit Reserve coming soon.
