Project details
Dawes Park is in a central location to the community and neighbourhood of Barrack Point and beyond. The park is in the heart of the suburb and boasts a newly upgraded playground, cricket pitch and plenty of shade from mature trees and shelter.
The next step to making the space complete and functional for all community members will be upgrading the slab located on the southeastern side. Take a look at where the upgrade will be taking place in the image below.

The current slab will be replaced and upgraded to a bright, clean and fun sports court ready for all ages and abilities to enjoy. But before we go ahead with this project we want to chat with you about what this might look like and what your preferences for the rest of the court are to make sure we create a space for everyone to enjoy!

There are two sections for you to vote in. The first will be to select the type of court we upgrade the Dawes Park court to. The second is to help select the additional features of the court, so let us know what you would like to see included.
