In 2020, we asked our community to provide their thoughts and ideas about the playspaces at Giblins Reserve and Montrose Foreshore. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback.

Now Council is embarking on a strategy to determine the best design, use, location, and development of playspaces across the whole City of Glenorchy. This will be a long-term strategy aimed at ensuring Council provides and manages these important assets for current and future generations. It will include an assessment of current and future needs.

One Eighty Sport and Leisure Solutions has been contracted to undertake the project which aims to be completed by July 2021. Feedback provided during the Giblins and Montrose Playspace consultation will also help inform this strategy, however we’d like to hear your feedback about all the playspaces across the whole of Glenorchy.

Council invites you to provide your thoughts on play in our community.

  • Giblins and Montrose Playspaces

    In play...at Giblins Reserve and Montrose Foreshore

    Designs for new regional playspaces at Giblins Reserve and Montrose Foreshore Park were developed through community consultation in 2020. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback.

    Council has closed tenders for the construction of these new playspaces and submissions are currently being considered.

    The new Montrose playspace will include an urban play zone, ball play zone and some nature play zones, along with a mountain feature which includes a dual cable way. The playspace will also include a large sand and water play zone. The urban play zone will include a signature climbing tower.

    Also included in the overall Montrose playspace will be the construction of a new skatepark. Council will be tendering for the designs for the skatepark in early April. In May 2021, we expect to engage with the community to get their input into the final design.

    At Giblins we will be constructing a new regional inclusive playspace, which will have some individual inclusive play zones for all abilities. A main entry point designed for carer control is included, along with disabled carparking for larger vehicles. A tactile play zone and sand play areas are also included, along with a signature climbing tower specifically designed for all abilities. A new public toilet, upgraded carpark and new pathways will be constructed.

    It is anticipated that the construction of the Giblins playspace will start mid 2021 with an 8-month construction period. Once Giblins is completed we will then move to the Montrose playspace.
