Playground testing pirates wanted!

Ahoy me hearties! Calling all would-be Bayside Buccaneer pirates to locate six playgrounds in Bayside and provide feedback on how we can improve them. We are upgrading six playgrounds and we need your help on how to make them more accessible, safe and FUN.

To take part, you’ll need to:

be aged 1 – 12 years of age register on our Playground Upgrades Have Your Say page and receive a Treasure Map with all the clues have the use of a smartphone or ipad with mobile data have a family member or carer to drive and supervise you at as many of the six playgrounds you can get to at each playground, follow the clues to locate the hidden QR code to unlock the details of your pirate mission have lots of energy to explore each playground and play on the equipment tell us what you like and don’t like about each playground via an online survey (can be done at the playground or when you get home).

Every playground visited will earn Bayside Buccaneers an entry into the draw to win movie tickets. If pirates visit all six playgrounds, Bayside Buccaneers will go into the draw to win GOLD Class tickets.

The six playgrounds to be designed this financial year are:

Hanby Reserve, Brighton Train Street Reserve, Highett Donald MacDonald Reserve, Beaumaris Hampton Recreation Node RG Chisholm Reserve, Sandringham Whyte Street Reserve, Brighton

These upgrades are part of the Playground Improvement Plan which will see all Bayside’s playground upgraded by 2025.
