What is planned?

We will be upgrading the park and existing playspace at Morris Reserve in Pascoe Vale South over a 2-year program.

Park infrastructure works include:

- Drainage improvements from April - July 2026 (ongoing)

- Replacement drinking fountain with dog bowl - completed in March 2026

- Henley st laneway concrete paving and drainage improvement - completed in February 2026

- Street art showing riparian flora and fauna along Marsden Ave laneway - completed in April 2026.


Two new fitness equipment stations have been installed in June 2026 and are available for use.

Upcoming works include:

- playspace/gathering space upgrade will start at end October 2026 until early February 2027 (end timing to be confirmed)

- replacement seating around the reserve - timing to be confirmed.


Following completion of the final concept plan, we have issued a consultation summary report. This can be found under the Document Library section on this webpage.

We have completed detailed design and procurement and are currently planning upcoming works. We will continue to update you with progress on this project.

  • Phase 1: gathering ideas

    First we wanted to understand how people use the park and playspace, what works and what needs improvement.

    See what was said 

  • Phase 2: draft concept plan

    We developed a draft concept plan using feedback from phase 1 consultation.

    See the draft plan 

  • Phase 3: final design

    The final concept plan was informed by your feedback on the draft concept plan. The engagement is now closed and we will begin detailed design and procurement.

    See the final concept 

  • What type of play equipment would you like to see included?
  • Where would you like to see seating in this reserve?
  • Inclusion of other elements (like fitness equipment) if this suits community needs.
  • The location of the playspace will need to be determined by Council.
  • Very large play elements (like flying foxes) cannot be included in the playspace as there is limited space.
  • Which park infrastructure upgrades will be determined by Council.
  • Active sports elements (like sports fields, pavilions, changing rooms etc) cannot be included in this upgrade.
  • No trees will be removed as part of this upgrade, unless they are found to be dead or in decline
  • This upgrade will only cover the reserve area, not the surrounding streets.
  • The final concept design must fit within the available budget.
