Play Spaces Vision

The Strategy is a long term vision on improving play provision in the City of Launceston.  Play spaces represent a major investment by Launceston City Council and must be carefully managed to ensure they meet the needs of the community and offer the best value for available resources both now and in the future. 

If you would like more information, read our documents in the library or send us an email.

With our goal to create more diverse higher quality play spaces in larger hubs, if a park didn't have a swing and a slide, what type of play would you put there?  Would you like to see an open area?  Or, maybe a community garden? 

If you have any other ideas, we would love to hear them.

These principles along with the design guidelines will guide us in the development of future play spaces.  

This is a great opportunity for you to have your say in the development of the Play Space Stragegy.  We would love to hear your thoughts on whether or not you think these guidelines and principles will improve play opportunities in our City.  We would also love to hear why! 

The play spaces  in Launceston have all been listed, a map of all areas has been provided and an analysis of each suburb conducted from recent equipment audits, photos, information from Council's strategic documents, comments made by the community and in some cases site inspections.  

Have we captured the key play space issues in your area? What are your thoughts on the recommendations and priorities listed?   Refer to the locality analysis - suburbs are listed in alphabetical order -  and have your say!
