Werribee's Galvin Park tennis courts have had a makeover!
This $1.5 million Wyndham City project has delivered a complete rebuild of courts 1 to 4, which had been significantly impacted by tree root damage and had become increasingly unplayable.
Courts 5 to 8 were also resurfaced and received new fencing and lighting, enhancing both functionality and safety for evening use.
In addition, the walkway between the courts was upgraded with a new concrete path, and a water fountain was installed to provide greater convenience for players and visitors.
Meanwhile, a new book-a-court system will make it easier for Werribee Central Tennis Club members and the public to access the facilities.
These works were the final piece of the Galvin Park Master Plan implementation, which also delivered a redevelopment of soccer pitches 1 to 4 and ovals 2 and 3; redevelopment of the tennis, soccer and AFL/netball/cricket pavilions; additional car parking; and playground redevelopment.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw, said the tennis court redevelopment was a game-changing upgrade that would benefit the Werribee Central Tennis Club and the wider community for years to come.
"This significant investment reinforces a commitment to local sport and community wellbeing, and ensures Galvin Park remains a premier destination for tennis in the region," Cr Shaw said.
"The rebuilt and resurfaced courts ensure the Werribee community have safe and high-quality playing surfaces for years to come, while new lighting, landscaping and other amenities allow for increased use of these fantastic courts."
Wyndham City's Heathdale Ward Councillor, Jennie Barrera, added: "The completion of the Galvin Park tennis court redevelopment is ace news for tennis lovers, and will offer an enhanced training and playing experience for those that use the space."
