Three parks upgraded

Wyndham’s park renewal program has continued, with new playgrounds and landscaping completed at Brougham Avenue

Reserve in Wyndham Vale and Karobran Kindergarten and Wilmington Kindergarten

in Hoppers Crossing.

Work is also underway on playground upgrades and associated works at

Southampton Drive Park in Point Cook and Thames Boulevard Reserve in Werribee,

with work on track for completion by the end of 2023.

Meanwhile, The Grange Kindergarten and The Grange Early Learning Centre

playgrounds in Hoppers Crossing will get a spruce up over the summer school

holidays, while playground upgrades at Werribee’s Thomas Chirnside Kindergarten

and Little River Kindergarten are scheduled for the term 1 2024 school holidays.

Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard, said these

upgrades would make the nominated play spaces more accessible to the

local community and encourage increased usage.

“The Parks Asset Renewal Program is an annual Wyndham City capital works

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

spaces that better meet the community’s needs,” Cr Maynard said.

“Improvements are tailored for each play space depending on the condition of the

equipment and requirements of the local community.

We know how important it is to have quality open spaces close to home, and for our

kindergartens to have exciting and stimulating outdoor areas for children to play and

learn – and these enhancements are delivering just that.”
