Wyndham council is encouraging members of the community to make use of several new park and playground facilities that have been recently installed or upgraded.
Lincoln Heath Boulevard Reserve in Point Cook has received a new playground, set of barbecues, and a drinking fountain as part of the Park Asset Renewal Program, a $4.4 million fund council uses to refresh reserves.
In the same suburb, Tom Roberts Parade has freshened play equipment, a garden makeover, and an irrigation upgrade to make it safer to use.
Over in Werribee, Latham Street Reserve now features a brand-new playground with swings, a track ride and multi-play unit, upgraded fitness equipment and improved landscaping.
The outdoor space at Woodville Childcare Centre in Hoppers Crossing has also received an upgrade, with new play equipment, a cubby house, water play area, vegetable garden, refreshed sandpit, refurbished yarning circle and improved landscaping.
More upgrades are scheduled, with improvements to the outdoor space at Woodville Kindergarten in Hoppers Crossing on track for completion at the end of January.
Playground and landscaping upgrades are also underway at Point Cook’s Penton Way Reserve, and six other projects due for completion in the coming months.
Mayor Josh Gilligan said the ongoing works ensure outdoor spaces remain safe, accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
“Local parks play a vital role in the life of a community – they provide space for exercising, playing, socialising with friends and family or relaxing and unwinding,” Cr Gilligan said.
