Moorabool families are in for a treat with exciting upgrades coming to Gordon Public Park for local youth to enjoy.
Moorabool Shire Council announced the park will gain a long-awaited skate park and basketball court this year.
Construction on the skate park will begin in June with the basketball court to follow shortly after.
Moorabool council chief executive Derek Madden said discussions with the Gordon Public Park Committee of Management on upgrades to the park had been ongoing since February last year.
“We have worked very closely with the committee to ensure this is a great deliverable for the people of Gordon and surrounds,” he said.
Mr Madden said there were ongoing future plans for upgrades to complement the existing park facilities, such as tennis courts, public toilets, a community garden and a clubhouse.
The construction of the Gordon skate park will follow another being built at Mill Park in Ballan.
In the lead up to the Gordon park upgrades, council will work towards further landscaping improvements in the park area.
