With summer around the corner, Point Cook Coastal Park is set to be a popular destination for residents in Melbourne’s west, with an upgrade of the park and its facilities now complete.
The $968,800 revamp of the park, funded through the state government’s Urban Parks Active Wellbeing Program, has resulted in new shelters, barbeques, picnic tables and a playground being installed.
New drinking fountains and outdoor showers are also now available for visitors, while toilet upgrades are expected to be finished in the coming weeks.
Point Cook MP, Mathew Hilakari, welcomed the completion of the upgrades.
“The new facilities at Point Cook Coastal Park are ready just in time for summer!” Mr Hilakari said.
“They are new, modern and will ensure that the park continues to be a much loved community asset.
If you haven’t been to the Park, or you haven’t been in some time, it’s time to get back to Point Cook Coastal Park.”
A new section of the Bay Trail path that will connect it to the Point Cook Coastal Park, is currently being constructed and is set to be finished by the end of the year.
Environment Minister Steve Dimopoulos said once complete, even more people will be able to enjoy the upgraded park.
“By extending the Bay Trail between Sanctuary Lakes Boulevard and Skoda Court, we’re providing a faster, safer journey for Melburnians to travel from Williamstown to Point Cook Coastal Park.”
