Children in Melton West can burn some energy and let their imagination run wild at a new playspace in Sovereign Boulevard Reserve.
Located on the corner of Sovereign Boulevard and Westlake Drive, the new playspace includes a creative play shopfront and nature-based play elements, as well as new play equipment including a slide and swings.
A kickabout area with a soccer goal and new turf has also been included to encourage active play.
Garden beds have been expanded near the picnic area and additional trees planted to increase natural shade and comfort, while a new concrete path provides connectivity throughout the reserve.
The upgrades were made possible through the Victorian Government's Living Local Suburban Grants Program and Melton City Council's Parks Development Program.
Quotes attributable to City of Melton Mayor Cr Steve Abboushi:
"This new playspace captures the imagination of children and enhances both the amenity and accessibility of the park."
"It was specifically designed in response to feedback received during community consultation, making it a truly unique and engaging space for local residents."
"Getting outside and being active is so important for our health and wellbeing at any age, and with the City of Melton having over 300 beautiful parks, gardens, recreation areas and playgrounds, there are plenty of opportunities for our residents to do this."
