History

In 2015 the Landscape Masterplan for Marie Wallace Park was endorsed and implemented in stages.

The first stage included the construction of a central lawn with custom-built stage and a multi-activity area providing a range of activity zones with custom play elements and a picnic/BBQ area.

The second stage included:

  • the widening of Jim Abernathy Drive and additional car parking
  • a bike education training area
  • upgraded picnic facilities
  • a new pedestrian bridge between the two Bayswater Park ovals.

Knox City Council worked in partnership with the Victorian Government to upgrade the playground at Marie Wallace Park. 

About the upgrade

Key features of the redevelopment included:

  • retaining the big red train and enhancing the surrounding area
  • reinstating the little red train
  • new nature-based cubby areas
  • repairs and enhancement works to the timber fortress
  • replacement of rubber surfaces
  • new pathways, picnic tables and seats
  • new planting of ground covers, shrubs and trees.
  • solar lighting installed at the car park and adjoining shared paths to improve public safety and reduce vandalism and anti-social activities.
