Melton City Council has unveiled a new community sport and recreation precinct in Aintree.
The $15.3 million Aintree North Recreation Reserve was officially opened by City of Melton Mayor Cr Steve Abboushi and State Member for Kororoit Luba Grigorovitch MP on Wednesday 16 April 2025.
This new reserve will deliver a district level active open space precinct for Aintree's fast-growing community and will be home to several local sporting groups.
The reserve includes an all-abilities play space, public toilets, an off-lead dog park, a fitness trail and jogging track, a youth space with a skate park, soccer fields, a shared path network and a community sports pavilion.
Melton City Council invested $11.9 million in the project, with the Victorian Government contributing $2 million from the Growing Suburbs Fund, and developer, Woodlea, contributing $1.46 million.
