An exciting $3.7 million upgrade at Lawrie Emmins Reserve in Laverton North is now complete.

The official opening of the reserve’s new Gateway and Youth Precinct took place on Friday, 20 June 2025, which has transformed an unused part of the reserve into a sporting and recreational hub.

The upgrade features a skate park, basketball and netball courts, a climbing wall and outdoor fitness equipment, offering plenty of options for young people to spend time outdoors and be active.

Residents can also enjoy two shaded shelters with picnic facilities, a spacious grassed gathering area with a volleyball court, newly landscaped surroundings, a toilet block, car parking and other amenities.

This $3,718,000 project was jointly funded by Wyndham City Council and the Victorian Government with $1.5 million contribution from the Growing Suburbs Fund.
