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.”
