Reimagining Edina Street Reserve

Our project is to upgrade and enhance the park in Edina Street Reserve. This would include updating the existing playground that is over ten years old, building a sandpit including interactive play, building a bbq area and community gardens. Edina Street Reserve is located in the heart of Williamstown North, surrounded by a housing estate built in the 1940s. This area is experiencing growth with a number of developments increasing the number of the houses in the adjacent Park Crescent. The park would be a space that is accessible to our growing community.

In the past ten years, the number of families in Williamstown North has grown by 25%, but during this time there has been limited investment in parks. Edina Street Reserve is set on an under-utilised reserve, ideally located for the growing number of families. Enhancing our park would provide us with a place to meet, building stronger relationships and increasing community engagement. The community gardens would facilitate us to care and contribute to our local environment and provide a practical example for our children. Improvements to the playgrounds would encourage our children to be active and engage in the community.
