A New Park is Coming to The Ranges:
A Place to Play, Connect & Thrive
4 February 2026
A vibrant new community park is set to become the heart of The Ranges in Gledswood Hills – an inviting, thoughtfully designed open space created for families, children, residents, and the wider local community. With the plans approved and construction underway, this future park brings together nature, play, movement, and social connection in a way that enhances everyday living.
Beautifully positioned within the estate, over 3 hectares of new parkland will offer a blend of active play areas, peaceful green zones, and community-friendly spaces all designed to grow with families and support healthy outdoor lifestyles. Whether it’s playtime, picnics, or peaceful recreation, the new park at The Ranges truly has something for everyone.
Lush Green Spaces
The plans include expansive turf zones, tree-lined edges, native planting, and landscaped mounds that create a natural, welcoming environment. Overlooking the adjoining bushland with thoughtfully placed new shade trees will help the park feel green and established from day one.
Shared Paths for Walking, Riding & Exploring
A shared path network winds throughout the open space, connecting residents to key areas of the estate. Perfect for walking, jogging, scooters, or a leisurely ride, these pathways encourage movement, fitness, and accessible circulation.
A Feature Playground Filled with Adventure
The central playground has been designed as a hero feature for families, incorporating a wide range of play equipment. Key elements include:
- Multi‑play structure with climbing, balancing, and imaginative play features
- Mounded play with slides, adding elevation and fun for children of all ages
- Flying fox with a secure chair, offering excitement and inclusive access
- Double-bay swings, including toddler and nest swings
- Balance play equipment, stepping pods, and spring play elements
- Softfall surfaces for safety and comfort
This combination offers a rich play experience from adventurous climbing to sensory, inclusive, and social play options.
Learn‑to‑Ride Track
A dedicated Learn to Ride track gives children a safe, contained space to build confidence on wheels. It’s an ideal spot for beginners learning bike or scooter skills away from traffic.
Kick‑About Recreational Zone
Open lawns are set aside as a kick‑about area, perfect for casual sports, ball games, and active outdoor fun. Families can enjoy flexible, unstructured play in a generous green setting.
Shelters & Shaded Seating
Modern shelters with BBQ facilities, picnic spaces, shade sails, benches, and bubbler create a comfortable environment for long family outings, weekend gatherings, or simple afternoons in the park.
Natural Features
Sandstone retaining walls, logs, and native planting beds give the space an organic, Australian landscape character that blends beautifully with the surrounding environment.
A Community Asset for Years to Come
The Ranges’ future park will be a place where neighbours meet, children grow, and families create lasting memories. Every element has been considered – from accessibility to shade, from active spaces to quiet zones – to bring the community together and support healthy outdoor lifestyles.
This park is more than an amenity. It’s an investment in the wellbeing of current and future residents – a welcoming green hub designed to enrich daily life at The Ranges.
We look forward to keeping you updated as this exciting space comes to life.
