We are excited to be planning a new district playground at Barry Powell Reserve in Noble Park North and we want the community to get involved.

We want to deliver an innovative and fun playground that will provide a different type of play experience to other playgrounds in Greater Dandenong.

We want to hear your ideas for a theme for the playground, as well as the types of play equipment and activities you would like to see included in the design.

Your feedback will help shape the draft concept design for the new playground.

About the reserve

Barry Powell Reserve is located on Halton Road, Noble Park North.

This district level reserve is approximately 10 hectares in size and is a multi-purpose park that supports the growing sports clubs, as well as providing recreational and play infrastructure to meet the recreational and social needs of the diverse Noble Park North community.

The reserve has two ovals, a sports pavilion, two playgrounds, a dog off-leash area, BBQ and picnic facilities, tennis courts, and cricket nets. The Jan Wilson Community Centre is located in the reserve.

Barry Powell Reserve is also classified as a Sports Reserve, providing facilities and spaces for club-based cricket, football and soccer.

Project information

This project is part of the Barry J Powell Reserve Master Plan 2020.

A priority project from the master plan is to prepare a design for a new district level playground at Barry Powell Reserve. As part of the master plan, the new playground will replace the existing playground next to the sports pavilion. The existing playground will be demolished to make way for the future construction of the netball courts.

The location of the new playground is within the large grass area to the south-west of the Jan Wilson Community Centre.
