Boyle Playground, previously known as Orange Grove Community Reserve, has received a $242,000 upgrade, transforming it into an inclusive space for all abilities.
The new all-abilities playground, located at the corner of Boyle Lane and Maddington Road, features sensory play elements and equipment
accessible for wheelchairs and mobility devices. Highlights include a Boral truck rocker, a basket swing, talking tubes, slides, and more, all enclosed by a full perimeter fence.
Speaking at the park’s opening, Mayor Terresa Lynes said the upgrades will allow the playground to be a space all families throughout Orange Grove can enjoy.
“This is a wonderful upgrade to the park that I’m sure will be well enjoyed by the local community for many years to come, and I’m really impressed by the number of children celebrating here at the park opening,” she said.
“Ensuring everyone in our community can enjoy spending time at a park and playing together, regardless of ability, is very important to the city.”
In addition to the playground, the city has installed new connecting paths, shade sails, and off-street parking bays, including an accessible bay and a designated pedestrian refuge island on Boyle Lane.
The park is one of 11 that the City of Gosnells has committed to developing as all-abilities playgrounds across the local area by the end of the year.
The all-abilities playgrounds already open are located at Mills Park, Bracadale Park, Harmony Fields, Langford Park Sporting Complex, Sutherlands Park, Walter Padbury Park, Tom Bateman Reserve and Thornlie Park.
