Learn about upcoming, current and recently completed park renewal and upgrade projects delivered through the City's Capital Works Program.
The Capital Works Program includes improvements such as:
Playground renewals
Park upgrades
Expansion of existing facilities
New park infrastructure and amenities
The City of Armadale manages a wide variety of playgrounds across the municipality. Each year, playgrounds are renewed or upgraded in accordance with the Parks Facility Strategy and the City's asset renewal program.
When a playground is due for renewal or upgrade, we aim to create spaces that are accessible, engaging and suitable for children of different ages and abilities. Each project is carefully designed to meet the needs of the local community while remaining within the available construction and long-term maintenance budget.
Planning Better Parks
The City's Park’s Facilities Strategy ensures park improvements are planned and delivered fairly across the municipality.
The strategy provides a consistent approach to the development and renewal of parks, helping ensure facilities are sustainable, appropriately located and meet the needs of the community.
Each park serves a different purpose. For example, a Local Park is intended for short visits and generally includes a smaller playground with limited facilities, while a District Park caters for longer visits and may include larger playgrounds, barbecues, picnic areas, toilets and other amenities.
Using Our Parks and Reserves
The City's parks, playgrounds, barbecues and picnic facilities are available for everyone to enjoy and cannot be reserved for private use.
When visiting our parks, please:
Place rubbish in the bins provided or take excess rubbish home if bins are full.
Clean barbecue hotplates after use.
Help keep parks clean by picking up after yourself.
Supervise children at all times.

Visitors are responsible for their own safety and the safety of children under their supervision while using City parks and reserves.
Parks and playgrounds are assessed as part of the City's ongoing asset management and Park’s Facilities Strategy.
When determining renewal priorities, the City considers a range of factors, including:
the age and condition of existing infrastructure
safety and compliance requirements
maintenance history
the role and classification of the park (Local, Neighbourhood or District)
available funding through the Capital Works Program.
This ensures renewals are planned fairly and delivered where they are needed most.
