Three suburban parks set for upgrades

Parmelia Park in South Fremantle, Salentina Ridge Park in Beaconsfield and Hicks Street Park in North Fremantle are all in line for upgrades by mid-2025.

The City is seeking community input to ensure each playground replacement meets the needs of those who use them.

Based on community ideas, project budgets and scope, park play designs will be developed and delivered within the 2024/25 financial year.

Parmelia Park in South Fremantle

Upgrades to:
