There’s even more reason for families to brave the cold this winter with a new playground at Green Gully Reserve.
The massive playground is complete with two slides, swings, balancing and climbing posts, nature play areas and a picnic setting.
It also includes native bird sculptures, new toilets and fitness stations, canopy trees and low cover garden beds.
Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said she hopes to see the new equipment getting lots of use.
“Council is committed to creating high quality, attractive open spaces that are good for our physical and mental health, and support people to get outside and be active.
“Future plans include a full basketball court and half netball court to be constructed in the next two months.”
The upgrades are part of the council’s Creating Better Parks Policy which has brought about improvements to 105 parks, totaling almost $32 million since 2008.
Notably, a $3.34 million transformation of The Lakes Reserve flagship park began in May this year.
The upgrades will create a new activity and leisure area with exercise equipment, an obstacle course, a new irrigated picnic lawn, shelter, barbecue and improved views of the lake.
