Kids and kids at heart can look forward to ramping up the fun at Sunshine West’s newest playspace and outdoor court.

The new Noble Court Reserve facilities were officially opened on January 29, with Laverton MP Sarah Connolly, Brimbank mayor Ranka Rasic and the local community all in attendance to mark the official opening.

With more and more families moving into the western suburbs, the new areas feature a combination of sport and play elements catering for all ages and abilities.

A swing set, climbing frames, sandplay unit and nature play elements make up the new play equipment that’s complemented by nearby seating, barbecue, landscaping, and paths.

Upgrades to the space also included the delivery of three new outdoor fitness stations, installation of a new multi-use court marked for basketball; with soccer, netball and cricket play opportunities.

Together the upgraded facilities make for a perfect spot for the community to come together to play, get fit, stay active or re-energise.

Laverton MP Sarah Connolly said local parks and reserves give both children and adults the chance to play, develop skills and connect in outdoor settings close to home.

“From shooting hoops to having a swing, this space stimulates both the body and mind, providing a dedicated outdoor area for all ages to enjoy,” she said.

“We’re giving communities like Sunshine West the facilities they need so more locals can tap into the health benefits of active play.”

The new reserve facilities were made possible by a joint contribution, with Brimbank council investing $595,000 and the state government funding $225,000.
