New Multi-generational and picnic areas
What is proposed?
The Multi-Generational Area for Monterey Reserve has been designed to the east of the new Community Hub and the existing Forest Road Car Park and Family Picnic Area. This space occupies the footprint of the current playspace.
The multi-generational area is designed for people of all ages to use, with a focus on encouraging more active and social recreation opportunities for adults and seniors. This space is complementary to the proposed new playspace and youth space.
The space is supported by integrated landscaping, seating, spaces to gather and interact, upgraded toilet facilities, and a new picnic area to the east.

Family playspace and picnic area
What is proposed?
The new playspace area for Monterey Reserve has been designed to the south of the new Community Hub and west of the existing Forest Road Car Park. The playspace is designed for pre-school and junior age groups (0-12 years) and draws upon nature and artwork reflecting the local Frankston North community.
It is designed to balance physical, with social, creative and cognitive play and draw on flexible and open-ended opportunities for children, with sand, water, softfall mulch and plants.
Alongside the new playspace, the existing picnic area is to be remodelled to become more family friendly, with better shelter, larger and more accessible picnic tables and better access from the car park.
