Playtime is going to get even better with upgrades in the works for four parks across Melton – and we want your thoughts on what will make your local parks even better.
Parks on Lavarack Street and Blackwood Drive in Melton South, Barwon Street in Taylors Hill and Landscape Drive in Hillside will be upgraded over the coming year – with new play equipment, sports facilities, gardens and trees, picnic areas and kickabout spaces planned.
Melton South Recreation Reserve on Lavarack Park will also see a new court space for ball games and a dedicated rock climbing wall.
Residents are invited to have their say on the concept plans for the parks and let Council know what features would make their park more usable, accessible and a place to spend more time.
Go to conversations.melton.vic.gov.au to have your say – or go to one of our in-person drop-in sessions on Saturday 29 July at:
- Barwon Street Reserve, Taylors Hill, from 9:30am-10:30am
- Blackwood Drive Recreation Reserve, Melton South from 9:30am-10:30am
- Melton South Recreation Reserve, Melton South from 11am-12pm
