A parkour circuit and large skate park are coming to Pakenham’s PB Ronald Reserve.
Cardinia Shire councillors recently endorsed a masterplan for the reserve, which is a focal point for the community.
The reserve is home to a huge playground, skatepark, Pakenham Library and Hall, U3A, Pakenham Living and Learning Centre, Pakenham Men’s Shed, Pakenham Community garden, SCOPE disability service and the RSL memorial walk.
The masterplan includes plans for an upgrade and expansion of the existing skatepark and a new parkour circuit and exercise station.
Among the other key features are a new stage with power for festivals and events, new multi-use courts for basketball, netball, tennis, soccer, and a new picnic/BBQ area.
Car parking, toilets, outdoor furniture and shelters will also be upgraded.
The PB Ronald Reserve upgrade will be staged over 10 years with the first stage of detailed design for the skate park and parkour circuit expected to kick off this financial year.
The masterplan was developed following an extended period of community and stakeholder consultation.
“Key elements of the reserve’s redevelopment including the skatepark and surrounding facilities will go out for community consultation so there will be further opportunity to have your say,” Mayor Brett Owen said.
