Hillside Recreation Reserve has been transformed into a vibrant and inclusive space for the community to enjoy following recent upgrades.

The revitalised playspace at the reserve was officially opened on Friday, 8 August 2025.

The upgraded playspace now includes a range of equipment and amenities designed to cater to all ages and abilities.

Exciting new features include a play tower with slides, swings, a rock-climbing wall, mini trampolines, a revamped basketball court, a sandpit, and nature-based play elements.

Improved natural shade, a shared path network to improve accessibility, and outdoor exercise pods to promote active lifestyles are also part of the enhancements.

Melton City Council funded just over $510,000 for the upgrades, with the Victorian Government contributing $400,000 through their Growing Suburbs Fund.
