Lloyd Park, Langwarrin: facilities
07-December-2011
Mr BURGESS (Hastings) -- On Friday, 25 November, I, along with the mayor of Frankston, Cr Kris Bolarn, and the federal member Dunkley, Bruce Billson, attended the turning of the sod at Langwarrin's Lloyd Park sporting precinct. The event was another step towards delivering on the commitment I made before the last state election that a coalition government would provide $300 000 towards the upgrade of the facilities and equipment at Lloyd Park, which is the sporting centre of Langwarrin. It is the place where a large number of Langwarrin residents and families come together to participate in and watch a broad range of sports, including junior and senior football and cricket, netball and tennis. With the amount of sport played at the park and the more than 700 participants involved, the two changing rooms and canteen were no longer enough. The second clubroom will help clubs to provide the standard of facilities needed for the hundreds of men, women, boys and girls who use the reserve daily.
The diversity of sporting clubs at Lloyd Park plays a key role in the community, enabling people of all ages to engage with each other in a positive and healthy environment. The delivery of this commitment by the Baillieu government will be a big step towards establishing the quality sporting and recreation hub that the Langwarrin community both needs and deserves.
