We are upgrading the playground and park environment at Esslemont Reserve to make it a place where people of all ages can enjoy outdoor activities, play and relaxation.
We are also improving the footpath connection to Moonee Ponds Creek so there is better access to the park. The new path will run from footbridge at Avoca Crescent to a new park entry beside Moonee Ponds Creek into Esslemont Reserve.
We have heard your feedback on the draft concept plan and we are sharing our report on the Phase 3 engagement. Click on Phase 3 on this page to see the report and the final concept plan.
