Families across Greater Dandenong are discovering new ways to play and get active following a series of playground and reserve upgrades.
Across 2023 Council has prioritised updating local playgrounds from tired and underutilised spaces to places the community love to visit.
We have provided more spaces for informal recreation, including sports courts, walking tracks and exercise equipment. We have also planted more trees to increase the tree canopy as a response to climate change and the need to cool our suburbs.
Highlights include:
- Frederick Wachter Reserve, Keysborough – playground with a combined market garden and wetland theme
- Glendale Reserve, Springvale – new playground, half basketball court and a fitness pod
- Tirhatuan Park, Dandenong North – full-sized multi-purpose court and separate court space with netball goal circle
- Tatterson Park, Keysborough – upgrade to insect theme park including a spider sculpture and climbing web
- Tyers Lane Reserve, Keysborough – a total of 59 new trees will be planted
- Coolavin Reserve, Noble Park North – new fitness pod
- Kenneth Street Reserve, Noble Park – new trees, garden beds, picnic table and seating, path and fencing.
Council is planning to upgrade more parks and playgrounds across our city in 2024 and will be asking residents for their ideas during October and November this year.
