Big boost for Sydenham Park

Sydenham Park Soccer Club has received a massive boost ahead of its 2024 campaign.

Keilor Lodge Reserve’s Pitch three is now a full size soccer pitch that can be used for competition, and the new lighting on Pitch one will allow it to be used for night matches.

Brimbank mayor Cr Ranka Rasic joined with Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins for the official opening of Keilor Lodge Reserve’s Pitch three and pitch one Lighting upgrade.

Mayor Rasic said the joint effort from council and state government was an investment into the community’s health.

“When we invest in our sporting facilities, it is an investment into the health and wellbeing of our community,” she said.

“Sport and active recreation not only brings people together and builds community cohesion – it also makes us happier, healthier and live longer.

“I look forward to seeing more of our community out there enjoying these fantastic sporting facilities.”

Sydenham Park Soccer Club’s senior mens side competes in the Victorian State League 1 North West.

The season commences on Sunday, March 24.
