Community feedback sought for Victoria Park Lake family precinct and playground

The feedback from residents will be used to help select the main play equipment at the Family Precinct for the entire community to use.

Council is allocating approximately $350k for the new family play area that will include new playground equipment suitable for toddlers, primary school aged children and teenagers. The playground will include a flying fox, swings and other exciting play structures and areas of shade.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Kim O’Keeffe said it will be great for more families to be able to enjoy a rejuvenated Victoria Park Lake playground area.

“The family precinct project is part of the Victoria Park Lake Master Plan and will enable more Greater Shepparton residents to enjoy the area around the lake”.

“The new play structures will add another dimension to the park and will surely keep the children entertained and help them burn off some energy, so please make sure you provide your feedback,” said Cr O’Keeffe.

Along with the new toilets, the family precinct will be located to ensure this potential utilisation of the area is improved at the northern end of Victoria Park Lake. (Whilst the Masterplan specified renovation of the toilets would occur, Council is actually building new toilets in a more accessible location.)

Feedback will be received via the following methods until Friday 9 March 2018:
