Subject: Urgent: Request for Reinstatement of Play Equipment at Cambridge St Reserve

Dear Mayor Crossland and Councillors,

I'm writing to express disappointment with the changes to Cambridge St Reserve playground. The current limited equipment does not meet community needs and expectations for a $2M park upgrade, particularly given the varied offerings of the previous playground and the promise by the City of Yarra to include traditional play equipment.

I urgently request reinstatement of suitable and varied play equipment in line with community needs and acknowledged requests without sacrificing significant grass space.

We anticipate a positive outcome suitable for all demographics, aligned with the City of Yarra's inclusive values.

Sincerely,
