We’re creating a new local park at 9 Scott Grove, Glen Iris, with more space for the community to play, relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The new park will include:
• large lawn areas
• a seating area with views towards the city
• a picnic area with seating, a picnic table and drinking fountain
• a netball ring and nature play area with rocks and logs
• a mix of asphalt and gravel paths.
We’re also keeping the existing shady trees, as well as adding more plants, garden beds and new trees throughout the park to support local habitat.
More features subject to funding
We heard from many community members who would like a picnic shelter and lighting in the park. Both are included in the final design, but they’re not part of the currently funded works.
The main park features (numbers 1 - 16 on the plan) will go ahead. We’ll put the picnic shelter and lighting (numbers 17 and 18) forward for consideration as part of a future Council Budget process.
