Major resurfacing works have started at the popular Lynwood Park playing field in St Helens Park, marking a significant investment in local sports infrastructure.
The $966,000 project is funded by Council and will deliver a high-quality, all-weather surface to replace the existing pitch at the facility.
Mayor Darcy Lound said the investment would help to support the continued growth of football in the region and provide a top-class surface for elite and community sport.
"Lynwood Park is one of our city's premier soccer venues, and these works will ensure that it continues to provide an outstanding playing surface that meets the needs of both grassroots and high-performance players," Cr Lound said.
"This resurfacing project is part of our broader commitment to investing in quality sports infrastructure across our community," he said.
The project uses a recycled cork infill throughout the playing surface in order to provide better environmental outcomes for the facility.
"This new surface will ensure the surrounding bushland of the Lynwood Park precinct is better protected in the long-term," Cr Lound said.
