Active Recreation Hub construction has begun

Published on 04 May 2023

Construction has officially commenced for our new Active Recreation Hub at Eco Park, Mount Martha.
 
This means that exciting upgrades are coming to the existing Eco Park! Mount Martha residents and visitors can expect a new and invigorated experience, including a pump track, skate bowl, sensory play elements, trampolines, seating areas, planting and trees.
 
Visitors who have previously enjoyed the Eco Park can rest assured that the upgraded site will retain sufficient car parking, significant vegetation and existing equipment that’s in good condition.
 
Our Active Recreation Hub was endorsed in late October 2019, for the Eco Park site located on Glenisla Drive in Mount Martha.
 
The brand new Active Recreation Hub received funding through Sport and Recreation Victoria.
