Sign the ePetition - Park required for kids to play safely

Principal petitioner: Karthika Ramesh

Petitions express the views of the Principal petitioner and may not represent the views of Council.

Hillcrest residents (new pocket of hillcrest) urgently need a proper park due to significant safety concerns, including children playing in residential streets leading to near accidents, and adults using unsuitable bus stops for exercise.

The nearby wetland reserve, called 'Jimmy's Park,' is not suitable for recreation as many residents, especially women, feel unsafe walking there alone, particularly in the dark, due to the presence of people perceived as dangerous.

A dedicated park would address these safety issues, prevent potential property damage, and provide a secure space for children.

Action required in response to this issue:

We petition Logan City Council to proactively plan and allocate resources for the development of a safe, well-maintained park within the Hillcrest community, providing a secure space for children to play and a suitable place for adults to exercise, separate from residential roads and unsuitable wetland reserves.
