Revitalised park and playground appeal to all ages
Published on 16 September 2025
Families can now enjoy an exciting place to play, exercise and relax following the upgrade of Hendersons Creek Wetland Park and Playground in South Morang.
Located next to The Promenade, the revamped park includes a new playground, outdoor fitness equipment, natural play features and a sheltered seating area.
The upgrade also delivers improved pathways, including the shared user path connection to The Lakes Boulevard and a new pedestrian crossing, making it easier and safer to access the park.
Nature has been deliberately woven into the park’s design, with open space and natural play elements encouraging children to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
City of Whittlesea Mayor, Councillor Martin Taylor joined The Hon. Lily D’Ambrosio MP, Member for Mill Park, at the upgraded park’s official opening on 29 August 2025.
The project was supported by a $500,000 grant from the Victorian Government’s Open Space for Everyone – Better Parks and Playgrounds Program and the Community Support Fund.
Quotes attributable to City of Whittlesea Mayor, Councillor Martin Taylor:
“This new play and recreation space is a wonderful addition to South Morang, giving families, children and the wider community a place to come together and enjoy the outdoors.
“Playgrounds and parks are about more than fun, they support community connection, health and wellbeing, and create spaces that people of all ages can enjoy.”
