Wyndham council is inviting residents to share how they would like to play at Polly Parade Reserve when it opens later this year in Tarneit.
Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said she welcomed the new sporting space that will allow residents to stay active.
The space is set to include three sports fields for cricket and soccer, six tennis courts and cricket nets.
In addition to this there will be new lighting, pathways, a children’s play space, and a BBQ and picnic area.
“Feedback will guide the development of future clubs at the reserve, allowing interested community members to put their hand up to be part of the inaugural club working groups,” councillor Shaw said.
“It will also provide guidance regarding age groups, values and experiences that are important to residents.
“We know that programmed sport helps boost community connections and wellbeing, we look forward to the reserve growing into a valued community asset.
“Located next to Bembit Bag-rook Community Centre, the reserve is expected to become a vibrant hub where people can come together to play, connect, and support one another.”
The $12.3 million reserve project is supported by a $50,000 grant from the state government.
The upgrade is a part of Wyndham’s Tarneit North Community precinct master plan.
