Wodonga Council has been working to develop a comprehensive design concept for the playgrounds in Kinchington Estate and Leneva Views.
The two parcels of land sit about 200m apart with connecting roads and paths now completed. Based on feedback from the initial consultation, Leneva Views open space will be designed to appeal to older children, connecting directly to the path network.
Kinchington Estate open space will include a partially enclosed play area for younger children, large picnic shelter and half-court basketball.
Installation is scheduled to commence January 2024 and works will take place in two stages, over several months.
Stage one will include installation of the play equipment and hard landscape elements listed below.
