The new community sports pavilion and sports facilities at More Park on Esmond Street in Ardeer, has officially been opened.
The park features a new $8.4 million sports pavilion, sportsgrounds, multi-purpose batting cage, car park and path network.
The works include a complete upgrade of the whole reserve with new sportsground floodlighting, a new car park and new paths.
It also includes construction of an accessible sports pavilion complete with four new female friendly change room facilities, along with umpire, office, kitchen, first aid, social areas and storerooms.
The new pavilion will allow greater use by tenant sports clubs and the broader community. Community groups can use the meeting space in the social room during the day, maximising use and participation by community of the park and facilities.
The project was completed with a $4 million grant from the state government, as well as a $4.4 million contribution from Brimbank council.
Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire said More Park is an asset for the whole community.
“… More Park has a new lease of life and is ready to become a home for softball and soccer,” he said.
“The new multi-purpose batting cage will delight softball players of all ages, and special consideration has been made to ensure the new facilities are accessible and female friendly.”
