Riesenweber Park is a popular community park, centrally located in Jacobs Well. The park offers a range of sport and recreational facilities, large open space areas, and a multipurpose community centre. Its size and features make it a key location for community activities and events.
To meet growing demand and improve the park experience, we need to upgrade several facilities that are nearing the end of their useful life.
Following community consultation in August 2025, we used your feedback to develop a draft concept design. As outlined in the community engagement report,the design aims to improve the park layout, with better connections, upgraded facilities and more opportunities for recreation and community use.
How your feedback shaped the design
During the previous consultation, we heard strong feedback about improving facilities, increasing recreation opportunities and maintaining the park’s character.
You said -- We did
Provide more seating, shade and places to gather: We included additional seating, shaded picnic areas and BBQ facilities throughout the park.
Provide more recreation and activities for all ages: We introduced upgraded sports facilities, outdoor fitness equipment, a pump track along with an enhanced playground and flexible open space to support activities for all ages and community use.
Improve the dog park and consider relocation: We identified the south-west corner of the park as a potential new location for the dog off-leash area and are seeking community feedback.
Improve parking and access: We reconfigured the existing car park and considered opportunities to improve connections to Bay Drive.
Retain the park’s open green space and natural character: We retained significant vegetation while improving accessibility and pathways across the park
What happens next
We are now seeking your feedback on the proposed upgrades to help shape the future of Riesenweber Park.

upgraded sports and recreation facilities
enhanced playground and outdoor fitness equipment
shaded picnic and barbecue facilities
