New upgrades for Banchory Green Reserve have been unveiled, providing Hillside residents with more opportunities to get outdoors, stay active and spend time with loved ones.
Melton mayor Lara Carli and Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins opened the major upgrades at Banchory Green Reserve on August 23.
Melton council completed the $704,000 upgrade following a community co-design that took place last year.
The upgrades deliver an improved community space with passive recreation opportunities for all age groups and improved amenity.
The upgraded park features new landscaping, new playground equipment, seating and shade structures as well as resurfaced tennis court and basketball courts.
Melton mayor Lara Carli said the upgrades to Banchory Green reflect the things Hillside residents value most.
“Hillside residents told us that the things they value most about Banchory Green is having a space they can walk to and play sports among greenery and trees and a space that encourages an active lifestyle and social interaction,” she said.
“With so much new play equipment from a big basket swing to cubby houses in addition to picnic facilities, shade structures and upgraded sports surfaces, Banchory Green will be place to enjoy for families and kids of all ages.”
