Farmhouse Park playground renewal to begin in June

Works to renew the Farmhouse Park playground will begin in June, delivering a new play space for local families in the heart of Margaret River

The upgrade is part of the Shire’s ongoing playground replacement program, where playgrounds are updated every 15 years.

The new playground has been designed with help from four Year 4 classes at Margaret River Primary School, who shared their ideas and preferences through a hands-on consultation process in 2025.

The design reflects the history and character of Farmhouse Park, with a traditional farmhouse theme and play elements that work with the existing landscape.

The upgraded play space will include:

•    Equipment for kids aged one to 12
•    Swings, climbing and balancing elements
•    Sensory planting
•    Spaces for imaginative play
•    A quiet area to sit and connect with friends

The play area will also be expanded to make better use of the shade provided by the park’s mature trees.

During construction, parts of the park will be closed to ensure public safety.

The project aligns with the Shire’s Public Open Space Strategy.
