Help shape the future of playspaces in the Camden area!

Camden Council is inviting community input to shape the development of a Playspace Strategy.

Recognising the vital role of play in the growth and wellbeing of children, young people and their families, Council aims to create well-designed and enjoyable playspaces.

We're developing a strategy to guide the creation and maintenance of playspaces across the Camden area that are secure, accessible and suitable for children, families and caregivers of the present and future.

The strategy will:

  • Offer an assessment of current playspaces;
  • Present a summary of community feedback regarding playspaces;
  • Determine the principles to address how council improves playspaces;
  • Establish objectives for playspaces in our LGA; and
  • Provide direction for the establishment of playspaces.

Check out the map below to see where existing playspaces are located.

The strategy will be formulated based on community input gathered through conversations, surveys and workshops conducted throughout May 2024.


Our workshops were held on 14 and 17 May 2024 to provide background to the development of the strategy, current trends and types of play, existing distribution and opportunity to provide feedback from an adult and children’s view through activities.
