Major Barriers to Play Within Precinct
The Esplanade, Murradoc Rd
Other Significant Play Spaces in the Precinct (parks, reserves, pools, trails, etc) Beaches and foreshore reserve,
Commercial Play Spaces in the Precinct
None
Supervised Early Childhood Centre Play Spaces (Council-owned only)
Spatial distribution of play spaces
None
Currently 10 play spaces. Spatial coverage is generally very good. Despite Indented
Head play spaces being located only on the foreshore with none further inland, a
small coastal community such as this is most likely to gravitate to this area anyway.
Play spaces at St Leonards are generally well distributed however a significant gap
exists south of Levians Rd. Consider establishing a formal playground in the informal
park located between Sandbar Street and Saltwater Drv or the parkland between
Bluff Rd and Lower Bluff Rd.
The residential area south of Bluff Rd is also lacking a formal play space. Few, if any
parcels appear to be available for this purpose at present.
