Frankston City Council is pleased to announce the completion of exciting upgrades to the play spaces at Monique Reserve, Langwarrin, and East Seaford Reserve, Seaford.

Following community engagement earlier this year, each site received $350,000 in funding for a complete overhaul, featuring new equipment designed to improve the play experience including:

  • Basket swings
  • Toddler and junior swings
  • Multi-play towers
  • New seating and picnic tables
  • Additional tree planting

Pines Ward Councillor Sue Baker said these transformations were part of Council’s ongoing commitment to enhancing local reserves and play spaces across the municipality.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the community back to the East Seaford Reserve,” Cr Baker said.

“Through these upgrades, we’re not just adding new equipment – we’re enhancing the overall park experience for the whole community.”

Elisabeth Murdoch Ward Councillor Cherie Wanat said Council had worked hard to ensure the Monique play space was completed in time for the holiday season.

“We know how important these spaces are for families to come together, especially during the festive season,” Cr Wanat said.

“This upgrade will provide a fresh, exciting place for children to play and for families to enjoy the outdoors throughout the holidays and beyond.”

Council currently manages 122 play spaces and an ongoing program of upgrades designed to improve play opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

These upgrades align with Council’s Play Strategy 2021 which outlines a vision for improving play spaces across Frankston City over the next 15-20 years and guide the implementation of facilities for each play space. The strategy prioritises the development of inclusive, sustainable and diverse play opportunities that promote, health, wellbeing and active lifestyles.

Three other play space upgrades were completed by Council this year as part of the strategy including Kareela Reserve, Whistlestop Reserve, Frankston, and Austin Reserve, Seaford. More are planned for 2025.
