Enhanced play space unveiled at Centenary Reserve in Melbourne's west

Melton City Council has unveiled an enhanced play space and revitalised recreational area at Centenary Reserve in the western Melbourne suburb of Kurunjang.

Council has completed $665,000 in upgrade works across the parks following an extensive community co-design last year.

In Kurunjang, locals told Council that they wanted a BBQ and picnic space to spend time with friends – and basketball half-court and an enhanced play space including a slide, more swings and nature play.

The upgraded park also features new plants and trees, new playground equipment, seating, shade structure, an improved pedestrian path network and improved turf kick-about spaces.

The Victorian Government contributed $300,000 to help breathe new life into Centenary Park.

Mayor of Melton Lara Carli noted “Modern playspaces, nature play, social sport and picnic areas make our local parks a place for everyone.

“We are always working towards building inclusive and accessible community infrastructure like parks and playgrounds all across our growing region.”
