Other Significant Play Spaces in the Precinct (parks, reserves, pools, trails, etc) Walking/Cycle trail at northern boundary and just outside western boundary.
Commercial Play Spaces in the Precinct
None
Supervised Early Childhood Centre Play Spaces (Council-owned only)
Spatial distribution of play spaces
Bell Post Hill Kindergarten
Currently 5 play spaces. Spatial coverage is generally good with small gaps in the
central and southern regions. Pettit Park West district play space sits between these
gaps and will service these areas. Consider decommissioning Hosie Reserve which is
an uninviting play space open on one street frontage only. Recommend removing
equipment from Hosie and augmenting play equipment at Pettit Park, which is very
close, to provide higher quality facilities and good spatial coverage.
