Why are we proposing to upgrade Banyan Reserve?
We’re proposing to upgrade Banyan Reserve to include a new play space and BMX pump track to support the growing recreational needs of young families in Carrum Downs and Skye. This project will be delivered through a Council and Victorian Government partnership.
The proposed upgrades will support many of Council’s existing strategies including the Play Strategy 2021, Frankston Open Space Strategy 2016 and our Skate and BMX Strategy, which is in its final stages.
Our ideas propose to transform Banyan Reserve into a key community asset, to bring everyone together in a fun, welcoming and comfortable environment. The new play and pump track will create a premier destination in Carrum Downs that encourages visitors and provides greater access and amenity.
Our vision and ideas for Banyan Reserve
We have prepared an Ideas Plan that seeks to enhance the outdoor play and social opportunities for the local Skye and Carrum Downs communities. Our vision is to transform Banyan Reserve into a vibrant and accessible community space for all ages, abilities and interests.
We've summarised our proposed upgrades below, and more detail is available by clicking the markers in our Ideas Map.
Share your feedback and ideas by completing our survey by 11.59pm 13 April 2025. We also invite you to join our pop up at Banyan Reserve on Tuesday 18 March, 3-6pm.
