WHITTLESEA: Wetland Park opens at South Morang
Families can now enjoy a place to play, exercise and relax following the upgrade of Hendersons Creek Wetland Park and Playground in South Morang.
Located next to The Promenade, the revamped park includes a new playground, outdoor fitness equipment, natural play features and a sheltered seating area.
The upgrade also delivers improved pathways, including the shared user path connection to The Lakes Boulevard and a new pedestrian crossing.
Nature has been deliberately woven into the park’s design, with open space and natural play elements encouraging children to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
City of Whittlesea Mayor, Cr Martin Taylor, joined Mill Park MLA Lily D’Ambrosio at the upgraded park’s official opening.
The project was supported by a $500,000 grant from the State Government’s Open Space for Everyone – Better Parks and Playgrounds Program and the Community Support Fund.
“This new play and recreation space is a wonderful addition to South Morang, giving families, children and the wider community a place to come together and enjoy the outdoors,” said Cr Taylor.
“Playgrounds and parks are about more than fun, they support community connection, health and wellbeing, and create spaces that people of all ages can enjoy.”
