Werribee children and their parents have a new destination for play time, with upgrades to Conquest Drive Reserve now complete.

The $240,000 refurbishment includes a new half basketball court, playground and fitness

equipment, while the kickabout lawn, gazebo, BBQ and picnic setting have been upgraded.

Extra trees, garden beds and lighting have also been added.

Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard said playgrounds and parks were important community assets and that council was committed to improving.

“Creating better parks and public spaces is a priority for Council, and the Conquest

Drive Reserve upgrade is one example of where we’re delivering better parks and

open spaces for residents to get out, enjoy and keep active,” Cr Maynard said.

“This Wyndham City project is part of Council’s Parks Asset Renewal Program, an

annual program that transforms ageing parks into new and improved spaces that

better meet the community’s needs.”

Burgundy Drive Reserve in Wyndham Vale and Nangiloc Crescent Reserve in Werribee are other parks that have recently been upgraded, while improvements to Truganina’s

Aquarius Drive Reserve are due to be completed

next month.
