Welcome to your new parkThe City of Gosnells is planning to redevelop Chelsfield Street Reserve in Gosnells, to make it a more functional space for all residents to enjoy. Some of the proposed features of the design include a new playground, irrigated lawns, landscaping, an extended hardcourt and an improved path network.

See the map overleaf for the City’s proposed design.
