Times Square Park in Sanctuary Lakes is getting an upgrade.
Construction is now under way on the $544,000 Wyndham council project, which will include a new playground and swing set, nature play, a table tennis table, sheltered seating area, additional bench seating and new bike loops.
There will also be an accessible ramped path connecting the play space to the existing pram crossing and path network, expanded car park, a new rubberised surface added to the existing exercise equipment and pet-friendly features, including a drink fountain with dog bowl and bin with dog-bag dispenser.
The existing large open lawn space will remain, with community feedback showing that the space is popular for kick-to-kick and other games.
Work is expected to be complete in mid-2023.
Wyndham active city portfolio holder, councillor Peter Maynard, said the upgrade would provide Sanctuary Lakes residents with a local park that better meets their needs.
“These works will deliver better play equipment – for pre-school kids especially – and will make Times Square Park more accessible and pram-friendly for young families,” Cr Maynard said.
“Our community engagement process helped us understand what elements nearby residents would like to see introduced, and I am excited to see these plans come to life.”
