Whittlesea council is asking for input from the community for the development of a landscape improvement plan for Fortress Park in Doreen.
The aim of the plan is to improve the facilities of the park whilst maintaining its natural feel.
The council wants to add seating areas, shelters, improved signage and lighting.
Additionally, the council is looking at upgrading the already existing paths in the area.
Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson highlighted the importance of having a local space for all residents to enjoy the outdoors and stay fit.
“We recognise the importance of our neighbourhood parks to the community, and we are excited to begin enhancing Fortress Park to make it an even more enjoyable space,” she said.
“Our goal is to provide a place where residents can improve their health, enjoy nature, and foster meaningful connections.”
“We want to know how you currently use Fortress Park, what you love about it, and how you envision its future use.”
The suggestions from the community will help shape the development of the plan, with the plan being presented to council for endorsement in 2025.
Any upgrades proposed to council will depend on future funding availability.
