About the Lewis Park Masterplan
The masterplan was endorsed by Council in March 2019 following an extensive community consultation process. It will be delivered over a number of years as funding permits.
Stage 1 – Blind Creek upgrades are now complete
388 Burwood Highway, Wantirna South.
Council worked closely with Melbourne Water to improve Lewis Park.
These upgrades:
- returned Blind Creek to a natural creek between Scoresby Road and the retarding basin
- created wetlands for water quality treatment and habitat
- improved access and connectivity through landscaping, pedestrian bridges and boardwalks.
The upgrades feature:
- 3 new wetlands
- foot paths
- a boardwalk
- bench seating
- viewing platforms.
Construction was completed in late 2024.

Stage 2 – Sports and play hub
The sports and play hub will build on the active recreation, play and social spaces around the existing ovals.
Community consultation was completed in July 2022.
Funding has been allocated in the 26/27 Capital Works budget to complete the design of:
- Lewis Park pavilion – a new sports pavilion with inclusive change rooms, flexible social room, food preparation and service areas, as well as seating and activation of both ovals.
- Lewis Park playspace and public toilet – a new nature-based playspace and public toilet facility that builds on the natural character of Lewis Park and Blind Creek.
