Rob Richardson, Sandringham community group leader: So, SPiCE came about in 2013. The council and the local Eden board wanted to reinvigorate this reserve, and they really wanted to get community involvement in that process.

Rob Richardson: So, a lot of community people all came together to create SPiCE.

Rob Richardson: So within the park we have got a mosaic which is done with the children at Edendale School.

Rob Richardson: We've got the table tops here which is sort of based on patterns of local community cultures.

Rob Richardson: We've got the tiles on the ground which are representing picnic rugs because it's a dining space. We put the lighting in of course to encourage more visitors in the evenings.

Rob Richardson: Then we've got the playground as well which is obviously next to a busy road needed to have some safety fence around it.

Peter Haynes, Albert-Eden Local Board Chair: This community really knew what it was doing, so it didn't need a hell of a lot of advice. So I guess the main thing we did was listen.

Peter Haynes: Even when it was being built, I came down here and the guys who were constructing it said it was very special and they were really pouring their heart into it.

Peter Haynes: And people are really enjoying it. They love it. It's unique. It's now part of Sandringham. It's what makes Sandringham so special.
