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.
