Where is it?

Hillcroft Reserve is located along Hillcroft Drive and Lawanna Drive in Templestowe.

It is a Large reserve with an existing playspace and a timber staircase to the north of the reserve that partially links pedestrians to Lawanna Drive.


Hillcroft Reserve, 45-49 Hillcroft Drive, Templestowe



Why is it needed?

The last major upgrade to the playspace at Hillcroft Reserve occurred 20 years ago, with many play pieces, furniture and park assets requiring replacement. The upgrade will also provide new opportunities to expand the play area for children of varying ages.

The existing timber staircase is also showing signs of wear and tear, with a new path and stairway proposed to safely link both ends of the reserve from Hillcroft Drive to Lawanna Drive.


When is it happening?

Community consultation on a concept design will be open for feedback from Thursday 18 April to Thursday 9 May 2024.

Construction is planned to begin in October 2024 and will take approximately two months. This schedule is subject to weather and contractor availability.


How will the work affect me?

We will make every effort to minimise any disruption to residents and visitors.

The reserve will be closed during construction. The nearest alternative park is Church Road North Playspace, 1.2km away in Ruffey Lake Park, Templestowe, VIC 3106.
