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.
