PLAYGROUND CELEBRATING ASH BARTY A GRAND SLAM

27 Mar 2025


A tennis-themed park celebrating former world number one Ash Barty has opened in her local community of Springfield.



The retired tennis champion turned down a statue to commemorate her sporting achievements, instead asking for a park to inspire her local Springfield community. 

“Encouraging children to be active and play is a passion of mine, and I can't wait for local families, including my own, to visit this beautiful new space," said Ash.

The Ash Barty Playground, situated in the heart of Springfield Lakes, was created through a partnership between the government, Ipswich City Council, Springfield City Group and Ash herself, who hopes to put the park to good use with her son Hayden.

The park features a half tennis court and rebound wall for children to practice in the same way that Ash did when she was growing up nearby. From above, the park’s winding footpaths create the shape of a larger-than-life tennis ball. The park also features a dry creek bed, nature play areas, shaded seating, extended playground and gardens to provide a variety of activities to entertain children. 

Queensland Minister for Sport Tim Mander said the project reflects Ms Barty's values.

"When offered a tribute to her accomplishments, Ash requested something that can be valued and appreciated by children, families, and her community for many years to come, rather than a statue," Mr Mander said.
