New playground 

The upgrade of the children’s playground in Elsternwick Park South (northern section) is now complete. 

The design of the new play space was created using feedback from our community collected during community engagement on the Playground Improvement Plan, including ideas from our Bayside playground testers aged 1 – 12. 

The upgrade includes a range of new fun play equipment, accessibility improvements and planting for more shade.   The play elements encourage children to engage in imaginary, and social play and includes equipment suitable for children of all ages and a range of abilities, including:

  • A basket swing, toddler swing and a seesaw
  • Nature play elements including an eagles lair, water play unit and a teepee structure
  • A new wooden fort with accessible ramped access, log steppers and shade sail
  • A wide range of imaginative play elements including musical instruments, musical pipes, a spiral game table and speaking tubes.

Additional features include planting new trees, garden beds, logs and rockwork, updating the playground with new colourful matting surface and updating the shade shelter over the picnic area. 

This is the last playground upgrade planned for Elsternwick Park and is part of Bayside City Council’s plan to upgrade all 61 playgrounds in Bayside.

New exercise equipment

We’re looking to encourage active lifestyles by installing new fitness equipment that caters to a wide range of ages and abilities. The path network around Elsternwick Park South now features four new fitness stations that cater for a wide variety of ages and exercises styles, as well as instructions on how to alter the equipment and introduce additional challenges to your workout.

The equipment is now ready for the community to use

New toilets

We’re building new public toilet amenities close to the southern playground and barbeque area at Elsternwick Park. 

These facilities will improve amenities for all park users, including dog walkers and sportspeople. 

Community feedback from the Public Toilet Strategy has helped Council understand the support for a new public toilet in Elsternwick Park. 

The feedback we received demonstrated that there is strong community support for a new toilet in Elsternwick Park and the best location is close to Oval 4 for sports and recreation users, as well as providing an increased buffer from residential properties. The design features two unisex ambulant cubicles and an accessible cubicle/parent room.
