Frankston’s triple treat!

Published on 22 July 2024

The Kevin Collopy, Lloyd Park and Eric Bell Pavilions are set to take on a new lease of life and support healthy outcomes and lifestyles thanks to major upgrades.

Langwarrin’s Lloyd Park is going from strength to strength with the new $8.6 million pavilion now open to the public.

Featuring views across all three ovals, the new facility is the proud new home of the Langwarrin Football Netball Club, Langwarrin Junior Football Club and Langwarrin Cricket Club.

Langwarrin Football Netball Club President Gary Zeuschner said: “This magnificent facility serves the present and future needs of the club and community. The pavilion’s benefit will extend well beyond sport, with organisations able to hire for community-based activities.”

Lloyd Park Pavilion is funded by Council in partnership with the Australian Government.

The Pines Pythons Football Netball Club has a new $9.25 million home at the new Eric Bell Pavilion. The project was funded by Council and the Victorian Government.

It’s also home to the Pines Cricket Club, and both clubs are rapt with their new facility, which features a multi-purpose community room, four change rooms and much more.

Pines Football Netball Club President Kim Jackson said: “Not only are these facilities inclusive of our men’s and women’s football and cricket teams, they also provide opportunities for us to connect with and share the rooms with local community groups.”

Completing the trifecta is the new $5.46 million Kevin Collopy Pavilion, which has just been completed as part of Council’s delivery of the Jubilee Park Master Plan and complements the new stadium, upgraded ovals, parking, landscaping, upgraded outdoor netball courts and more.

For the home clubs, Frankston YCW Football Netball Club and Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club, the redevelopment means they will be able to better support existing and new players and strengthen female participation.

The project is funded by Council with support from the Victorian Government’s Community Sport and Infrastructure Loan Scheme. It will be officially opened in August.
