Mornington Peninsula Shire is pleased to announce the opening of the upgraded sports pavilion at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.
The Shire funded the $2 million upgrades as part of the Sport Capacity Plan and Pavilion Strategy.
The project has involved construction of new home and away change facilities with associated amenities, medical room, storage, umpires change facilities and office space for the Crib Point Football Netball Club and Crib Point Cricket Club at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.
The upgraded pavilion means sporting clubs can now enjoy the required amenities in one space.
