There’s a new place to play in Bulleen! Manningham’s newest sporting and recreation facility, Powerful Owl Park, is now open for enthusiastic local soccer players and community.
It features:
- three soccer fields (two natural turf and one synthetic pitch)
- a sports pavilion with tiered seating and player change rooms, umpire and first aid amenities
- 176 car park spaces
- a nature play area; and,
- walking and cycling connections to the Yarra River.
The new facility adds to our thriving network of local places where people of all ages, genders and skill levels can participate in soccer and other activities.
Participation in sports is important for a healthy, vibrant and connected community. For young people, it can provide the opportunity to develop valuable lifelong skills like resilience, teamwork, leadership and communication. Adults often find camaraderie and exercise through sport.
We negotiated a commitment from State Government to deliver this facility in response to the North East Link Program’s impact to our community facilities at Bulleen Park.
The project was delivered by the Victorian Government’s Project Delivery Agency, Development Victoria, with construction contractor 2Construct. Our Recreation and Leisure team will manage usage of the new facilities.
Powerful Owl Park is located at 27-59 Templestowe Road in Bulleen.
