What is planned?

We will be upgrading the park and playspace at Gervase Avenue Reserve in Glenroy.

This upgrade will include:

  • Relocating the playspace/playspace to Council-owned land parcels
  • An improved relocated gathering space with picnic settings and an accessible drinking fountain
  • Shelter over the gathering space and a shade sail over the playspace
  • A new half basketball court by corner of Beckett Street North
  • Installing access paths through the reserve and additional shade trees and garden beds.

Construction started early September and expected to complete mid December 2025.

The new half basketball court will be open to the public 20 November 2025.

How can the community influence this project?

What can be influenced?

  • Type of play equipment.
  • Location of seating and shade trees
  • Some improvements to the reserve

What can't be changed?

  • The playspace and gathering space areas have been pre-determined by council to avoid the main road and overhead power lines / other services.
  • No new elements can be positioned within the overhead power lines or gas line zones to comply with service authority requirements.
  • The final design must fit within the available budget.
