WALTER Padbury Reserve will get a big upgrade after a City of Gosnells council decision this month.
More than $315,000 will be spent removing the internal car park and green waste bins and replacing them with turf, providing a veranda for the Cassidy Road Pavilion and adding an all-ages children’s playground.
The money will also be used to remove internal fencing and replace with a retaining wall near the Hume Road Oval.
Cricket practise nets will also be replaced. Picnic shelters, barbecues and a new toilet block will be added later.
Mayor Olwen Searle said the improvements planned for Walter Padbury Reserve would give local families a great area in which to relax and have fun as well as boosting facilities for the football and cricket clubs.
“The new improved playground will be great for local families and will be designed for children over pre-school age,” Cr Searle said.
“Under the plans the area will be made safer and illegal dumping will be addressed.
“The cricket club will benefit from an extra pitch as well as better training facilities and Gosnells Football and Social Club will welcome the new veranda.
“Offering top class recreational facilities is important to the City of Gosnells and these improvements fit the bill.”
