About Peninsula Reserve
Peninsula Reserve is located on Frank Street and Jacana Avenue in Frankston.
Home to a playground, extensive walking paths, a designated dog off-leash area and a sports ground for the Frankston YCW cricket and the Frankston Raiders rugby league clubs, Peninsula Reserve is a popular and well-used park.
Based on community feedback and recommendations in Council’s Open Space Strategy (2016-2036), Council is undertaking overall park improvement work.
Community engagement on our Concept Plan
In 2022, we prepared a draft concept plan to illustrate proposed improvements at Peninsula Reserve. We sought our community's feedback and ideas to help us finalise the design.
We received 27 comments as published on this page, as well as discussions with nearby residents, which have helped us to finalise the Plan and commence construction. Thank you to all those who engaged with us!
What is happening now?
Construction has already been completed on key improvements to Peninsula Reserve, as per our Concept Plan, including:
- A new fully enclosed multiuse practice wicket facility.
- Planting of 120 established trees.
- Planting of 11,000 tube stock on batter and in drainage swale.
- Installation of 400 l/m of exposed aggregate footpath.
- Car park extensions, wheel stops and line marking.
- Installation of reserve perimeter fencing
Council is committed to further enhancing the Reserve. We're now updating our community via this page, and by letter to nearby residents, about future planned projects that we're exploring funding opportunities for:
- Sports oval lighting.
- Playground upgrade.
- Public lighting.
- New oval fence.
Proposed sports oval lighting
Further design has been completed on the sports oval lighting project, to enable Council to seek funding to deliver this as soon as possible.
The proposed Sports Lighting Plan is now available for your review as:
- A plan showing proposed locations of lighting poles.
- A plan showing proposed photometric plot of the floodlights.
- A Fact Sheet with FAQs.

Would be good not to loose trees for the native parrots and hope remains leash free park for dogs to run free in the fenced oval

The existing rock pit adjacent to the children play equipment is seldom used would love to see it replaced with in ground trampoline

The designs look great, we use this park daily and enjoy the way dog owners, walkers, families and sports lovers can all use this space.

Please don’t remove the sea monster monkey bars. They are great for our little kids.

Wonderful scope! I hope the plan is to retain the existing eucalypts in the north-east corner. They have nesting hollows for native parrots.

More rubbish bins around ground. More parking space required. Resident Parking signs in Frank Street more defined with signage on posts.

Please, no exotic tress & shrubs. Use WA & Vic Mallee eucalypts for animal habitat. They’ll thrive on Frankston sand & look progressive.

I think the parking is verry limited. Need to extend the parking around to the new courts. Wasted space that gets parked on anyway

Basketball Ring would be a great addition as well. Best spot would be where the old cricket nets were and could put a couple of seats there

We need better security, cctv has been promised (but not delivered) for years. Graffiti and vandalism is a real problem in the area!
