Bouncing Back in Park Orchards

A new Community Recovery Wall in Park Orchards is commemorating the resilience of the local community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two years in the making, the wall is now complete and opened in February. You can find it on Hopetoun Road in Park Orchards, across from the Millennium Wall. Members of the community purchased plaques that now feature their names on the wall.

The project was led by the Lion's Club and supported by Council with funding through our community grants program.

The wall was launched with a street party for the local community on Sunday 13 February and it was nice to finally get together after a challenging few years.

There was stalls and entertainment, food and drink, family activities and a live band. It was a great day to bring the community together and celebrate the completed project.
