Royal Avenue Reserve improvements

The facilities at Royal Avenue Reserve just keep getting better and better. Council has just opened a brand new, accessible public toilet, located conveniently between the skate park and playground. As such, the old, non-compliant bluestone public toilet near the Council offices is now closed and will be re-purposed for storage.

The playground will be closing on 19 April 2021 in readiness for a fabulous upgrade. Visit our Playground Upgrades page on our website to see the designs for the new playground. The new playground will include two new slides (one accessible by ramp), a flying fox, carousel and play bridge. Playground Upgrades are informed by our annual Playground Tester program, to ensure feedback from the youngest members of our community, who actually use the playgrounds, is included. There are two weeks left on this year’s Playground Tester program. Visit our website to register or for more information about the Playground Tester program.

Park users can also enjoy two new public shelters, compliments of the hardworking Sandringham Rotary Club, who have donated the materials and labour for these great assets that provides cover and shade over the picnic tables.

Mark Sutherland OAM, Shelter Project Coordinator from the Sandringham Rotary Club said:

“The Sandringham Rotary Club was keen to give back to the community and thought the building of shelters in Royal Avenue Reserve would provide a lovely atmosphere for families to enjoy a picnic or barbecue.

“We were aware that the playground and toilets were being upgraded and thought new public shelters would complement the facilities in this terrific local park.

“We have used the proceeds from our last three Santa rallies to fund the project and we hope the Sandringham community will enjoy the new shelters for many years to come”.

These initiatives are part of the Royal Avenue Reserve Masterplan, developed in consultation with the community.
