The first stage, completed in 2016, included construction of a central lawn area with a custom built stage area, a multi-activity area providing a range of activity zones including custom designed play elements and a picnic/BBQ area.
The second stage completed in 2017, included widening of Jim Abernathy Drive and additional car parking.The next stage of works for construction in late 2018 and 2019, include a bike education training area, upgraded picnic facilities and a new pedestrian bridge between the two Bayswater Park ovals.
