Better green spaces with Pick My Park

A total of 97 parks across Victoria will be upgraded or introduced as new green spaces through the state government’s Pick My Park scheme.

This is a great community-led initiative where ideas submitted by the community for the community are eligible for support.

Clarke Reserve in Elwood is one park to receive an upgrade, along with many others in Southern Metro that are getting support.

Burnett Gray Reserve in Ripponlea, which is the only playground in the suburb of Ripponlea, are getting brand new equipment.

Alexandra Street in St Kilda will be transformed into a new green corridor with tree canopy and new planting.

The middle of the Caulfield Racecourse, which is a public reserve, will add seating and new paths to encourage the community to make better use of that public space.

In Willis Street in Hampton, just near the station, where there is a big new social housing development nearby, we are creating a new pocket park at the old Scout hall with lawn and garden beds.

In Fennel Reserve in Port Melbourne, a new fenced area will transform that into a much safer dog park.

St Kilda Botanical Gardens are getting an upgrade to their play space with new nature play and a new barbecue.

We are helping the expansion of the Pakington Street Reserve in St Kilda.

There are more facilities in Prahran, Cheltenham, Toorak and Camberwell.

There’s a local park near you getting an upgrade!
