Rosherville Reserve Upgrades

Community input sought for nature-based playground upgrade at Rosherville Reserve with bushland play features

Mosman Council is planning a low-impact upgrade of the Rosherville Reserve playground, with construction scheduled from August to December 2026. The playground will remain in its current location while introducing nature-based play, bush regeneration and improved pathways.

The design includes small-scale play elements, natural timber equipment, sandstone edging and sand softfall, all aimed at maintaining the playground’s relaxed, bushland character. The upgrades will create an immersive outdoor experience where children can play, explore and connect with nature while preserving the reserve’s natural environment.

The project is funded by $250,000 from the Metropolitan Greenspace Program, a NSW Government scheme that helps councils create vibrant neighbourhoods and sustainable communities, matched by Council.

 It aligns with the Rosherville Reserve and Chinamans Beach Plan of Management and the Greater Sydney Green Grid, a long-term vision linking national parks, bushland corridors, and open spaces across the city.

Council is seeking community feedback to help shape the final play design, ensuring it reflects local values and complements the natural setting. Residents are encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions so the upgraded playground meets the needs of the community while enhancing the reserve’s bushland charm.
