Baseball Victoria and Wyndham council have teamed up to bring Brookdale Reserve in Point Cook back to life
Wyndham council recently completed stage two of the reserve’s $5.6 million redevelopment, with a new baseball and softball field featuring diamond fencing, a batting cage structure and a baseball clay surface, now open.
The final stage involving a new modular sporting pavilion being added to the reserve, is scheduled to be finished by early next year.
Baseball Victoria will oversee organised baseball activities at Brookdale Reserve, which will initially include come-and-try activities and local school clinics before expanding to competitions throughout the 2023/24 summer season and beyond.
“We are excited to be working with Wyndham City Council on the Brookdale Reserve Activation Project, which will open up fantastic opportunities to grow our sport in Melbourne’s west,“ Baseball Victoria CEO Chet Gray said.
“Wyndham City Council and Werribee Giants Baseball Club have been great supporters of our State Winter Championships in the past, and we are eager to strengthen our collaborative relationships with the local club, council and schools.”
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard, said he was pleased to see the activations of Brookdale Reserve taking place.
“We’ve got a strong following for baseball in Wyndham, and I look forward to Brookdale Reserve growing as a sporting hub for all our residents.”
To kick off this new partnership, Baseball Victoria will be hosting a come-and-try session for kids at Brookdale Reserve on Monday September 25 as part of Wyndham council’s Active Holidays program.
