About the project
Taringa Playground Park is bordered by Moggill Road, Moorak Street and Marmion Parade and currently has a large field for sports, a playground and small picnic areas.
Council has identified potential opportunities for upgrades to the recreation and play facilities in this park.
Council will engage with local residents to finalise the opportunities plan for future upgrades at Taringa Playground Park. The final opportunities plan will guide planning for future park improvements to ensure that play, sport and recreation requirements meet the needs of the Taringa and Indooroopilly community. Council will also consider the surrounding natural environment values which will be protected as part of the project.
