We have transformed 10 underutilised parking spaces into a versatile public space which now features plantings, colourful artwork, bicycle racks, additional seating space and a basketball hoop.
The pop-up park has improved the look and feel of the area by adding colour and activity to the streetscape.
Creating and maintaining vibrant public spaces is an important role for Council in improving the health and wellbeing and social connection for people in our City.
Balaclava has the lowest amount of open space of all our neighbourhoods at five per cent.
This is significantly lower than the Port Phillip average of 17 per cent and it has been one of the larger historic gaps in our public space network.
The new park comes thanks to consultations and contributions from the nearby St Kilda Primary School.
