Places and spaces

We have over 60 parks and play spaces, offering opportunities to play, socialise, and stay active outdoors, including 3 dog parks.

They feature a variety of play and recreation equipment and amenities. Whether you're looking for a peaceful spot to relax, a safe place for your children to play, or a scenic trail for a brisk walk, Palmerston's parks provide the perfect setting for all your outdoor activities.

Play Spaces Under Construction

Several of our Play Spaces are due for a facelift in the 2025/26 Financial Year.

• Joan Fejo Park in Rosebery will be getting some new play equipment aimed at teenaged children. The previous climbing net was in disrepair and was removed early 2025 due to safety concerns.
  Incremental replacement of exercise equipment will also occur at this park as budget allows.
  Works at Joan Fejo will commence in late dry season 2025 and will be completed by the end of the 2025/26 Financial Year.
• A new shaded all abilities swing will be installed at President Park in Driver, with works commencing in September 2025 and opened to the community by January 2026.
• The slide at Sanctuary Lakes playground has been reported as damaged. The area has been secured, and replacement works will be carried out as a priority.
