Why is Council proposing to relocate the playground within Prices Circuit Reserve?

Council’s service standards for local playgrounds include short-stay playgrounds which focus on play for a single age group (usually younger children) within 10 minutes walk from most homes.
The site at Prices Circuit Reserve is challenging to deliver these service standards given the size, limited access and lack of sight lines.
In order to improve accessibility, play opportunities and ensure the playground can be used by more people in our local community, Council are proposing to relocate the playground to another location within the Reserve.
Are there any locations for the playground other than location A and B?
