We’re replacing the pavilion. This is because the existing building is one of the sports pavilions in Glen Eira and it no longer serves the growing needs of our sporting clubs.

We worked closely with pavilion users and wider Glen Eira community to develop a design that meets everyone’s needs. It was endorsed by Council in late 2024.

We’ll start construction in the second half of 2025, with funding coming from our Budget for 2025–26 and a commitment of $3 million from the Victorian Government.

We’re building a dedicated dog park in the vacant space at Orange Street end of the Reserve.

The space will be fully fenced with a double-gated entry and will include play areas with tunnels, logs and boulders — a pup’s playtime paradise.

The park is being delivered with support from the Victorian Government’s New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program.

Works are due to start in 2026 and will be completed by October 2026.

Check back for updates as it gets closer.

We’ve made space for the future playground by purchasing and demolishing the properties at 64 and 66 Mackie Road.

With your help, we’ve also finalised the plans for the space. Highlights include:

• an all-ages and all-abilities play space
• opportunities for unstructured natural play
• a public toilet
• barbecue facilities
• a picnic shelter and seating area
• pathways with solar lighting.

These plans were endorsed by Council in late 2023.

Now, we’re working on getting the right funding so we can make it happen. We’re advocating to the Victorian and Australian Governments and applying for state and federal grants.

We’ll keep you updated with our progress.
