Springvale residents now have a fresh new space to relax and connect, with the completion of a vibrant pocket park at 49 View Road. 

This addition transforms a previously under-used area into a welcoming green retreat for the community. 

It features a bench seat and a picnic table setting, shade trees and lush garden beds, new turf and pedestrian pathways.

Designed with community feedback in mind, the pocket park offers a simple yet beautiful environment for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful spot to read, a place for a casual lunch, or just a stroll through greenery, this park delivers. 

At Greater Dandenong City Council, we are proud to deliver projects that enhance liveability and create more opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The pocket park at 49 View Road is a great example of how small spaces can make a big difference
