FAMILIES have been enjoying Livvi's Place at Westport Park since late 2014.
Now the call has gone out to people to have their say about the playground.
Researchers Rosemary Black and Janice Ollerton from Charles Sturt University are seeking people's views through an online survey about the playground. The all-inclusive playground has been designed to encourage children of all ages and abilities to embrace the fun of play.
The research project aims to explore whether or not Livvi's Place is meeting its goal of social inclusion through play.
Associate Professor Rosemary Black said they wanted anybody, who had preferably visited Livvi's Place, to complete the online survey.
"We are keen to hear people's views and opinions," she said.
Associate Professor Black said the research would inform the development, planning and design of future playgrounds.
Livvi's Place was a joint project between Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, national charity Touched by Olivia and the community.
The playground incorporates a carousel, water play, tree house, nature play and swings.
Lord Howe Island resident Anna Thompson recently brought her son Art to the playground.
"I think my son definitely needs to see something different apart from tractors and trucks," Mrs Thompson said.
The survey, which closes on May 31, can be accessed at www.research.net/r/Livvis_Place
