Vote to bring $500,000 to Knox parks

Three local park projects in Knox have progressed to the community voting stage of the Victorian Government's Pick My Park program.

With community support, Knox could secure more than $500,000 in funding for improvements at:

  • Kings Park in Upper Ferntree Gully
  • Marie Wallace Reserve in Bayswater
  • David Cooper Park in Wantirna South.

If successful, the funding will help us to deliver improvements and upgrades, including new playground equipment and features, upgraded park infrastructure, improved accessibility and more welcoming community spaces.

Funding will be awarded based on community votes, so your vote could help bring these projects to life.
