We understand how important this space is for the local community, and the decision to close it was not taken lightly, but safety always come first.

What happens next

The City is planning for a full playground replacement at Maida Vale Reserve as part of the 2026/27 capital works program. Until construction takes place, there will unfortunately be no playground available at this reserve.

We will keep the community informed as planning progresses and timelines are confirmed.
