Everett Street Micro Park
Everett Street Micro Park refreshes a tired leftover paved space into an opportunity to pause and play along journeys through the neighbourhood. The space already enjoys great tree canopy and plenty of foot traffic from local residents, students, childcare centre and sport science precinct.
A local community survey provided the city with clear preferences on what playful elements to include. The new seating, nature play and basket swing provide opportunities for different ages and abilities to play, connect, sit and relax.
