The Turnberry Drive Reserve and playground in Sunbury has received a makeover, now boasting new play equipment and park facilities.
Unveiled on Friday, January 24 and by the state government and Hume council, the $190,000 upgrade includes new swings, a see-saw, a nature play space, park furniture, and more trees.
The redevelopment also includes new areas for small community events and gatherings.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull said that the upgrade will offer benefits for both local parents and children.
“Whether it’s kids climbing on the new playground, parents catching up over a coffee, or a community group running an event, there’s something for everyone here at Turnberry Drive Reserve,” Mr Bull said.
“Playgrounds like this are so important – they’re not just for kids, they’re for the whole community. They bring people together and make our suburbs even better places to live.”
Hume mayor Jarrod Bell said on a Facebook post that it was “fantastic” to celebrate the unveiling of the upgraded reserve.
“The design of this neighbourhood level play space was directly influenced by locals having their say …it was great to hear positive feedback from local parents and kids, already using the park, having a great time!” Mr Bell said.
The council completed community consultation for upgrades to the reserve in 2023.
