Halifax Reserve play space renewal
We asked the community for ideas on renewing Halifax Reserve play space in 2024. We’ve taken your suggestions and turned them into a fun-filled concept plan that’s designed for locals and visitors to enjoy.
The concept plan below shows the new proposed aspects, including:
- A mighty play fort with a speedy double slide
- Circular platforms to hop, skip and balance across
- A tree hut for imagination and exploring
- A big basket swing for soaring
- Low ropes and posts for climbing, wobbling and adventure
- Lots of natural materials for creative nature play
We’re also adding a ramp to help make the play space more accessible for everyone
