An exciting upgrade to the popular McGilp Recreation Park at One Tree Hill is set to get underway this spring, featuring enhanced amenities to improve the athlete and spectator experience at the site.
Council’s transformation of the township’s major sport and recreation facility includes an extension to the oval, new changeroom facilities, resurfacing of the tennis courts, formalised parking for easy access, the addition of a bike track to the informal recreation space along with improved spectator amenities such as seating.
The extension to the oval will allow for both a full-sized senior and a full-sized junior soccer pitch to be accommodated at the site, which means whole-of-club game days can be held at One Tree Hill.
The new changerooms will be available to tennis, cricket and soccer players, and the new bike track will add another recreation opportunity for locals and visitors.
Mayor Glenn Docherty said the upgrade will transform the park into a centre for sport in the close-knit One Tree Hill community.
“Investing in this central community space means that a range of sports have the capacity to grow and flourish in One Tree Hill,” the Mayor said. “The One Tree Hill Soccer Club will be able to hold both junior and senior matches simultaneously at the park, which is a real win for players.
