Consultation has concluded

As part of our Parks Improvement Program, we're upgrading the Ted Ajani Reserve playspace in 2023. 

Ted Ajani Reserve is a district-level park in Templestowe Lower, with a wide range of recreation and play experiences, including fitness equipment, sports oval, tennis courts, public toilets, and a BBQ.

Thank you to those that provided feedback on the draft concept plans in 2022 and 2023.

The upgrade will include a variety of new and exciting features, including:

  • a new playground, offering a range of multi-age play equipment for children of all ages
  • a picnic table under a shelter, providing shade for families to relax and enjoy meals
  • an integrated sports court
  • an improved path link, allowing easy access to the playspace and sport court

We have commenced the construction to upgrade Ted Ajani Playspace.

As a result, some sections of the path are temporarily closed for upgrades. This includes a section of the circuit path as well as the path that connects the circuit path with Hazel Drive. During this closure, you can access the oval through a grass passage around the cricket nets, which is marked in black on the map above. 

We anticipate that the circuit path (marked in blue) will be reopened to the public by mid-October. A concrete path connecting to Hazel Drive (marked in red) will also be available by late October. All Ted Ajani Reserve playspace upgrade is expected to be complete by the end of November. 

We thank you for your patience and support while we work to improve this area.

Final Design 

A second round of consultation was completed in February 2023. After reviewing the feedback the design was modified to include:

  • Increased play options for junior and senior play, with a larger combination unit and new animal sculpture.
  • An improved footpath network with better connections and increased widths

We also received some requests for additional lighting along the new and existing path areas to improve accessibility in the reserve, which we will deliver as a separate project in early 2024. Further updates will be provided to residents on this project.

Construction on the playspace upgrade and multi-use court will commence on 3 October 2023, is anticipated to take around two months to complete. Works will occur between 7.00am and 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.


The upgrade is funded through the City Design Capital Works Program.
