Sunshine Coast Council is seeking community input to help guide future improvements to Wilkins Park, Pacific Paradise.

The park is a popular local space featuring a skate park, basketball half-court, playground, and mature trees.

We’ve heard from our community that Wilkins Park needs some love and hearing from local community members is the first step in developing a concept plan that will help shape future improvements. While no funding is currently allocated for construction, this plan will help guide potential future investment and staged improvements over time.

Your input will help ensure the park meets the needs of the local community, creating a welcoming and enjoyable space for all.

We invite you to share your thoughts by having your say before Friday, 28 March 2025.

We want to hear from you! Between Monday, 3 March and 5pm Friday, 28 March 2025 there are several ways to get involved and have your say:

1. Complete the online survey: Click on the survey tab to share your ideas and priorities for the park by clicking the survey tab at the top of the screen.

2. Attend a community pop-up event: Come along and chat with the project team, share feedback, and take part in fun activities:

• Wednesday, 19 March (3:30–5 pm) – Basketball with Clippers Basketball.
• Saturday, 22 March (9–11 am)

3. Share your ideas on our online ideas board: Click on the ideas board tab and suggest improvements or other ideas and help shape future improvements to the park.

Once the engagement period closes, Council will:

• Review all community feedback to identify key themes and priorities.
• Develop a draft concept plan informed by the community’s input.
• Share the draft plan with the community for further feedback before finalising.

Wilkins Park is a local park in Pacific Paradise that provides space for play, recreation, community gathering, and enjoying nature.

We are exploring potential improvements after hearing from our community that the park is in need of some love. As a local park, Wilkins Park is designed to serve the surrounding neighbourhood by providing open space that complements residential backyards and enhances visual amenity. These parks help facilitate social interaction, recreation, and connection to nature while reflecting the local character.

Local Parks

Local parks generally include shaded seating, pathways, trees, small play areas, and open kick & throw space but do not typically have barbecues, public toilets, or car parks.

This engagement will help develop a concept plan for future improvements, ensuring any upgrades align with our community’s priorities and Council’s guidelines for local parks.
