Play Space Strategy 2022-2030

City of Darwin is planning for the future of Darwin’s play and active recreation spaces.

A draft Play Space Strategy 2022-2030 has been prepared, setting out a framework to provide an accessible network of play and active recreation spaces to encourage active living for all ages and abilities.

Our vision is to provide and maintain vibrant outdoor spaces that support children, youth, families and adults to recreate, have fun and participate in creative play and physical activity.

Play and active recreation spaces include traditional playgrounds and sites such as basketball courts, tennis courts and exercise stations. For the purpose of this consultation, it does not include ovals, swimming pools or bike paths.

Across the Darwin municipality, City of Darwin currently provides the following play and active recreation spaces:

The map below shows the location of these play and active recreation spaces.
