Two new female-friendly changerooms at Keilor Park Reserve have been opened, paving the way for women to join in myriad sports.
Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said the new facilities will have health and wellbeing benefits for all of the community.
“The upgrades will accommodate women, men and juniors – a game-changer for year-round sport at the reserve,” Cr Congreve said.
“These improvements will go a long way in creating clean, safe and accessible facilities to support the growing levels of female sport participation in our community.
“Keilor Park Reserve is a key sporting precinct in Brimbank and these improvements are an important part of ensuring people of all ages, abilities and gender have every opportunity to access and participate in sport.”
The new facilities will cater for a variety of sports and were jointly funded.
The completion of the $680,722 football and cricket facility changerooms were funded by the council, with Sport and Recreation Victoria contributing $250,000, and AFL Victoria $33,000 towards the upgrades.
The council also tipped in $347,336 towards softball changerooms and social amenity upgrades, with Sport and Recreation Victoria also contributing $100,000.
