The Hills Shire Council is set to kick off a $2 million upgrade and extension at the much-loved Livvi’s Place all-abilities playground at Bernie Mullane Reserve in Kellyville.  

This playground is known as the best in the Hills as it literally ticks all the boxes. Great equipment including water play, shaded, fully fenced, toilets and refreshments nearby! And the playground extension, due to commence in the coming weeks will make it even better! The revamp will introduce a variety of new features, including an accessible multi-activity play tower, a double flying fox, slides, a climbing net and swings designed for both toddlers and older children.

Additionally, the project includes the construction of an accessible amenities building, complete with a ‘Changing Places’ room, with an overhead hoist, shower, toilet, and ambulant unisex cubicles.

The upgrades will also encompass shade sails, picnic shelters, a dry creek bed, accessible park furniture and wide pathways, ensuring a welcoming environment for everyone.

For those not familiar with Livvi’s Place in Kellyville, you can read more about the existing playground here.  Trust us, it’s good!  The extension is the area on the render above that is unshaded with aqua flooring.

The Livvi’s Place Playground Extension Project is proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) Program in partnership with Council. The WSIG Program will deliver $2 billion of transformational infrastructure across Western Sydney – with $1.1 million going towards the Livvi’s Place project.

The playground will be partially closed starting mid-September 2024. Some areas of the current playground outside the construction zone will need to be closed off periodically for the work to be completed. However, Council aims to minimise the impact on visitors’ enjoyment by keeping parts of the existing play areas, including the water play area, open for as much time as possible during the construction period.

For those seeking alternative play areas during the closure, nearby facilities include Samantha Riley Drive Reserve playground, Golden Grove Reserve, Duncraig Drive Reserve, and Ted Pike Reserve, all within 800 metres of Livvi’s Place Playground.

An alternative water park is available at Waves Fitness and Aquatic Centre in Baulkham Hills.
