Play is an integral part of childhood development. The City of Subiaco values facilitating diverse and quality play experiences through our playgrounds.
Time flies when you're having fun, and the current playground at Mueller Park is at the end of its safe and useful play-life. We are inviting the community to help us in the exciting process of renewing this playground.
Mueller Park playground (corner of Coghlan and Subiaco Roads in Subiaco East) is classified as a district park in the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries park hierarchy. This means it is a larger playground that may attract visitors from further afield (as compared to local or neighbourhood parks).
The replacement of the play equipment will be guided by community input, available budget, industry best practice and the City's Playspace Strategy.
This project has a two-part consultation process:
Stage one - an exploration of how the playground is used, the type of play children enjoy and the style of playgrounds you like (closed Monday 11 November 2024).
Stage two - we have three playground concept design options for the community to assess and advise us of preferences. The options were developed in response to community feedback from Stage one consultation - open 1 April to 5pm 22 April 2025.
Stage one consultation results
We had just over 60 people take part in the Stage one consultation. The Stage one results showed:
Most people spend 30 mins to an hour in the playground, followed by 1 to 2 hours.
The most common age groups using the playground are: 2 to 5 year olds, followed by 0 to 2 year olds, then 6 to 12 year olds. A small percentage of 13+ year olds also use the playground.
The 6 top most favourite activities in a playground were: climbing, swinging, sliding, gliding, sand play and balancing.
Nature play was the favourite playground type (followed by traditional).
Have your say
The results from Stage one were given to playground designers to develop concepts for the playground.
