The Ross Reserve Master Plan was adopted by Council in August 2012. It establishes the long term vision and direction for the district park in Noble Park and was developed after extensive community and stakeholder consultation.
The aim of the master plan is to maximise, improve and complement the Noble Park Aquatic Centre (NPAC) and balances and supports the sporting, recreational and community facilities and environmental benefits the park provides.
Since the adoption of the master plan, Council has invested significantly in the design and construction of the contemporary urban park in Ross Reserve. The urban park has a strong focus on youth activities and recreation.
Key achievements to date include:
- Noble Park Skate Park – a premier competition level facility within south eastern Melbourne, due to its unique design featuring a plaza, snake-run and bowl
- Skate Park Kiosk
- Formal entry forecourt to the Skate Park
- Incorporation of the Kofu drinking fountain and interpretative signage to celebrate our sister city relationship with Kofu, Japan
- Shelters, seating, tables, tree planting and open lawn
- Public toilet
Future projects within the urban park include the construction of the multi-purpose court with basketball, futsal and netball goals and picnic and barbecue facilities.
