Thanks to our community members who submitted their feedback regarding the concept options for Pelican Park. Following evaluation of the feedback received during this consultation combined with historic information gathered through “Let’s Talk Woy Woy” in 2022, we have carefully listened to your preferences and are dedicated to creating a playspace that incorporates elements from both the nature-play and pirate-themed play concept designs. Please find the engagement/consultation summary here.

The community voted and provided feedback on three concept playspace options to help inform the size, types of materials and equipment and cost of the upgrade.

Option 1 - Nature Play

• This option utilises the existing playspace envelope with a nature play theme. This option retains all existing vegetation but does not include rubberised soft fall.

Option 2 - Pirate Themed Play

• This option retains the existing pirate play theme with a reduced playspace envelope to comply with standards for play equipment fall zones, and to keep clear of existing tree roots. All vegetation is retained with this option.

Option 3 - Traditional Play

• This option proposes the removal of one Swamp Cypress to enable a larger playspace footprint with climbing, spinning and sculptural elements. With a larger playspace proposed, the cost to construct this option will exceed the typical budget allocated for a local level park needing to draw from funding allocated for the Woy Woy Lions Park District playspace upgrade.

The concept options were open for voting and feedback between 3pm 18 May and 5pm 16 June 2023 via an online form.
