Myrtle Road Playground upgrade
The existing train at Myrtle Road playground has been a favourite and imaginative play space for locals and Hampton Community Kindergarten families for many years. As part of Bayside’s Playground Improvement Plan, the old train, slide and rocker are being removed and getting an upgrade.
The playground will be closed for the duration of the upgrade to ensure safety and the timely dismantling of old equipment, and installation of new features. We’re retaining the swings, picnic table and shade structure, however they are not accessible during works.
