Florida Beach Foreshore is a local park that is well used by the surrounding residents. Previous community engagement has indicated a high level of support to improve this area. The surrounding neighbourhood has grown significantly in the last decade with many children living nearby, and there is a distinct lack of facilities to support the foreshores functions and large size.

Upgrading the space would enable it to better serve the Florida community, giving local families and residents a more vibrant space to relax and play.

While all these suggestions may not be able to be implemented, the design will work to reflect these desires identified by the community.
