About the project

We’re upgrading the Athol Reserve play space in 2025 as part of Frankston City Council's Play Strategy 2021.

Athol Reserve is located at the corner of Athol Court and Warrandyte Road, Langwarrin, adjacent to Elisabeth Murdoch College.

The proposed upgrades to the play space and associated landscaping works aims to improve the overall park appearance, improve access and inclusion and better connectivity to the surrounding area.

Construction works are expected to begin in late 2025.

What upgrades are proposed?

The Play Strategy outlines a range of service levels for play spaces across the municipality which guide the features and facilities that can be included in each space.

Athol Reserve is identified as a local minor level play space which is intended to service its immediate locality, young families for regular short-term stays (up to an hour) and can be walked to from home.

As a local minor level play space, with a shorter stay time, the upgrade is focused on pre-school and junior ages physical play opportunities and variety and does not include public bathrooms or BBQs. The proposed upgrades include:

• Swing-set including basket swing
• Combination play unit
• Rocker
• New picnic table
• New seat
• Path connecting Warrandyte Road and Athol Court
• Associated landscaping works
