Birrarung Marr Playground renewal


June 24, 2024

The Birrarung Marr Playground is one of Melbourne’s most loved and visited play spaces, capturing the imagination of visitors of all ages for the past 20 years.

From families, to tourists, to workers on their lunch breaks – the playground on the bank of the Yarra River is a colourful, playful and vibrant meeting space in the heart of the city.

To make sure the Birrarung Marr Playground can continue to delight visitors, City of Melbourne plans to rejuvenate the play space. The playground renewal will create a safer, more accessible nature-based play space.

The overall structure and layout will be maintained and current maintenance issues will be fixed.
