The brand new outdoor space at Eley Park gives young locals the opportunity to play, get active and be social.

Avenue Neighbourhood House in Blackburn South noticed there weren’t any outdoor spaces nearby that suited young people from late primary school age onwards, and Council responded.

The new outdoor space features a basketball and netball half court, a rebound wall and a Hot Shots tennis court. There is also a new drinking fountain, rubbish bin, bench seating, two accessible parking spaces and an accessible path from the carpark.

“People of all ages are already enjoying this revitalised space. It’s great to see it come to life,” said Cr Trudy Skilbeck, who represents Eley Ward.

Council would like to thank the state government for funding part of this project, which was delivered as part of the Whitehorse Capital Works program.
