Commercial Play Spaces in the Precinct
None
Supervised Early Childhood Centre Play Spaces (Council-owned only)
Spatial distribution of play spaces
Normanby Street Preschool, Breakwater Preschool, Thomson Kindergarten
Currently 2 play spaces. Spatial coverage is generally poor with both play spaces
being located in large reserves to the north leaving residential area largely
unserviced. Botanic Gardens Playground is an excellent regional facility and will
encourage users to travel by car or other transport options.
Investigate shared-use agreement with Geelong Steiner School at 27 Humble St.
Recommend upgrading Eastern Park South to District status to assist with spatial
provision.
