The playground was funded through the Victorian Government’s Minor Capital Works Fund in 2020 and after several delays caused by COVID-19, the playground has been completed.

In 2021, school students were asked to help design the playground, considering what equipment and colour schemes they wanted to see and thinking about what would be best suited to cater for the whole school.

At the opening students and their families tested the equipment and enjoyed a barbecue.
