Greenvale Reservoir Park is set to be reopened after a state government announcement.
After closing several years ago, the southern section of the park will reopen to the public following a $3 million-dollar state investment towards new entry points for pedestrians, upgraded walking trails, critical vegetation clean-ups, and tree safety works.
The northern and southern sections of Greenvale Reservoir will now be connected.
The northern section was opened after a $21 million investment to trail upgrades, new seating, signage, two entry points at Venezia Promenade, and the establishment of a viewing area offering views of the dam.
Greenvale MP Iwan Walters said the reopening of the park would be “great for the local community,“ and that he has been “working with residents to see this beautiful space restored.“
“Open spaces like Woodlands Historic Park and Greenvale Reservoir Park are so important for local communities in our area, and I’m delighted that this investment means Greenvale residents will again have access to this beautiful parkland right on their doorstep,“ Mr Walters said.
“I’ve been working, alongside members of our community, to get the southern section of Greenvale Reservoir Park reopened for the benefit of local residents.”
The park plays a key role in supplying drinking water to Melbourne’s north-western and western suburbs.
