Cook Street Micro Park
Cook Street Micro Park transforms a redundant asphalt cul-de-sac into a peaceful spot to pause and play under the beautiful native tree canopy. This space sees plenty of foot traffic between Broadway shops, UWA libraries, sport science centre and the River.
A local community survey provided the City with clear preferences on what playful elements to include. The sculptural seating and low key climbing and fitness equipment provide an opportunity to pause and rest or get active for a variety of ages.
