OVERPORT Park is being eyed for an upgrade.

A master plan is being worked on for the Frankston South space. Frankston councillor Liam Hughes said “the master plan includes a large number of recommendations covering elements such as dog use with provision for more bins, bench seats and drinking fountains with dog bubblers. As a designated dog free roam park, there are no fenced dog areas proposed.”

“We’ve listened to feedback on paths and following consultation, the pathway around oval two has been revised and gravel proposed for the majority of paths. Concrete paths are recommended for high use zones to create path circuits that provide an even surface for equitable access.

“The draft plan also caters for our keen cyclists with a recommendation for the detailed design for a bike park on the location of the existing informal track, as well as other facilities such as shelters, bins and drinking water.”

Frankston Dolphins Football Netball Club secretary Paul Wright said “with our player numbers having increased by around 40 per cent in 2021 in line with the expansion of netball and women’s football, the master plan includes a new netball court which is vitally important to us as a growing club.” 

A final report is expected to come back to council in March.

To view the plan visit frankston.vic.gov.au/Your_Council/Have_Your_Say/Overport_Park_Master_Plan

Feedback can be provided to council on the draft document by emailing leisureservices1@frankston.vic.gov.au with the subject line “Overport Park Master Plan”. Feedback closes 14 February.
