E-mail response from:

Craig Hopfe

Hello Mr Svoboda,

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Shennan Walk Way and the play equipment that is located within  William Mason Reserve.

Blacktown City Council encourages all of its residents and visitors to our region to utilise the provided facilities for both their own safety as well as the safety of others.

Due to the aesthetics of the area Council will keep the pedestrian pathway and the shared pathway separate. Council encourages pedestrians and cyclist alike to utilise the pathway along Luxford Road  to gain access to the newly constructed shared pathway.

Thank you for raising your concerns about seating at the play equipment in William Mason Reserve. An inspection has identified that that there is a bench seat provided for the community members to utilise whilst enjoying the facilities.

Kind Regards

Craig HOPFE

My feed back is in relation to seating in William Mason Reserve the are 2  children areas and only one has seating, here is photographic evidence:

In this children's playground area

there is a seat

 

Here there isn't one!

And definitely not here! Used for both adults and children!

Under this case, there should be more available seating, provided to the community, providing the correct open space for the community: a more comfortable living for waiting parents/guardians, supervising  young children!
