Shire of Kalamunda Committed to Playground Safety - 22/12/2009

“One of the most significant Parks projects carried out currently is the upgrade of Fleming Reserve in High Wycombe. Fleming Reserve has had significant funding allocated, with play equipment set to be installed to meet junior (0-5), intermediate (5-10) and senior (10+) requirements. The Reserve is being redeveloped as a multi-generational community space that encourages physical activity, relaxation and social interaction.

Works taking place over the 2009/2010 financial year include confirmation of the placement of all facilities and final design; construction of pathways (internal circuit), old toilet block demolished and rebuilt, installation of playground equipment, playground landscaping (includes BBQs and shade); confirmation of skate park design and the construction of the skate park and the planting of new garden beds. The projected will be completed over the 2010-2011 financial year, which will include the BMX redesign and rebuild; the design and construction of the Pavilion; construction of external pathways, redevelopment of the car park and finalisation of landscaping.

The local community has been and continues to be involved in the redevelopment of the reserve and the Friends of Fleming Reserve will play an active role in caring for its playground, skate park, gardens and bushland.”
