The site at 3-5 Rollo Street, Yarragon was the original location of the Yarragon Primary School from 1879 to 2013. In 2019, Council resolved to purchase the site to retain it as a community asset for use as public open space.
Through a master plan completed in 2021 and further input from a project reference group (PRG) in Yarragon, the park redevelopment works include the planting of 63 new trees, sealing of Hanns Lane with diagonal parking, loop walking path, seating, drinking fountain, bike racks, rain gardens, and fencing.
As a result of a competitive tender process, Sustainable Landscaping Pty Ltd was successful in securing the contract and commenced works on-site in November 2024.
Future works not included in the current construction contract is pending design and consultation with the PRG and includes arbour/shelter, signage, artwork, and lighting.
