Meriden Park Masterplan

Exciting upgrades underway at Meriden Park – a new era of accessibility and inclusion

Harvey’s much-loved Meriden Park is transforming to meet the needs of our diverse community, including:

  • A brand-new Changing Places facility and universally accessible public toilet block
  • An all-inclusive accessible playground
  • A fully enclosed dog exercise park
  • Modified car parking

These projects are part of the Meriden Park Masterplan upgrade.
