Daylight saving starts this month. The days will be longer and it is a terrific opportunity to get more active. Council’s Make Your Move program and Council’s investment in our local area encourages everyone to move more, particularly outside as the weather improves.
A new half basketball court and futsal goal have been completed at Glendale Reserve in Whitworth Avenue, Springvale. Public consultation on the design of the reserve’s new playground is finalised, with construction to be completed by June 2023.
The new Ross Reserve Sports Pavilion is due for completion later this year. As soon as this pavilion is ready, cricket clubs that use the grounds over summer, including Parkfield Cricket Club, Springvale Cricket Club and EMC Sports Club, will move into the modern new facility. By winter next year, the Noble Park Junior Football Club and Sandown Lions and Springvale City Soccer Clubs will also take up residency. A new synthetic soccer pitch is due to open in the coming months, adding an all-weather surface to the mix.
Footballers, netballers and cricketers will benefit from the change room upgrades at Springvale Reserve. Both home and away change rooms are being upgraded to allow for better accessibility and separate spaces for players to prepare for games. This project is due to be completed later this year.
The new gymnasium and wellbeing centre at Noble Park Aquatic Centre should be completed soon. The swimming pools have remained open throughout the construction. I look forward to using the new modern gym, three group fitness rooms, new changerooms, along with a lounge and assessment room.
