Project update #3 - February 2025

Langfords Park to be upgraded soon!

Vassallo Constructions has been awarded the tender for stage one of the Langfords Park upgrade in Eton.

The works are based on feedback that was gathered during community consultation activities in 2023.

The stage one works include:

• A new playground relocated to the park’s oval with roofed shade and covered seating for parents and carers. The play equipment will cater for a wider age range, 0 to 12 years, and the area will be fully fenced.
• A new picnic shelter with an electric barbecue and picnic setting overlooking the park’s oval.
• A formalised entry from Hill Street with a 1.5-metre-wide concrete path to the picnic, sports facilities and playground facilities.
• Football goal posts in the oval.
• A retrofitted lockable gate to the internal road to prevent vehicles cutting through the park. Access will be allowed to the Pony Club and public on request.
• Additional shade trees along the new footpath.

The contractor is expected to commence works in the coming months and be completed this year, weather permitting.

Further information will be provided as soon as the construction program is finalised.
