Pool complex redevelopmentRedevelopment of the existing pool complex to provide a new 50m pool, associatedprogramme pool and gym facilities. Pool redevelopment is to incorporate extensiveboundary / frontage improvements to provide greater visual and physical relationship /interface to the park. Landscape improvements to integrate native canopy tree plantingto pool periphery and grassed areas.2. TerraceEstablishment of a paved terrace adjoining the pool complex providing views over thelower grassed terrace and across the western side of the park. Potential incorporationof a double fronted kiosk to serve both pool patrons and general park users as well aspublicly accessible toilet integrated into pool building.3. Pool entry forecourtProvision of a formalised entry forecourt to the pool complex.4. Grassed terraceProvision of a grassed terrace below the pool paved terrace area, to provide a gatheringspace with views across the park and adjoining the central rondel. The terrace may beutilised as a formal gathering space during events, and generally as a pleasant opengrassed area for picnics or other informal park activity. Steps lead up from the lowerpath level to the grassed terrace, and provide seating opportunities looking over thecentral rondel. At grade access would also be available via adjoining paths. Integratenative shade tree planting compatible with grassed area maintenance.5. Rocket play spaceRelocate playspace to consolidated play area surrounding existing rocket structure.Rocket play structure to be retained in existing location with upgrade to formalise safeuse of lower levels (eg. upgrade slides and address relevant Australian Standardsrequirements). Additional play items to be integrated in this area including provision ofsoftfall surface. Play area to be defined by low sitting walls reusing stone salvaged fromexisting playspace. Optimise opportunities for a diversity of age groups to utilise theplayspace and provide enhanced relationship to barbeque area.6. Victoria Road frontageEstablishment of a mulch area under dense tree canopy as recommended in theAboricultural Assessment (Appendix C) where grass coverage is poor due toovershadowing, and where tree root systems are being compacted by foot traffic.Mulched zone to allow for pedestrian access into the park from parking, preventing wornpedestrian access lines, and caters for east-west access along the park edge.Strategically located park seating along the edge takes advantage of the shaded areasand provides views across the open grassed area.Further enhancement of this edge includes upgrade of the entry opposite LeicesterStreet and also to the Black Street corner.Existing ninety degree parking will be made more efficient through line marking to beundertaken as part of Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre redevelopment works.35 Marrickville CouncilOctober 2012
