CANCELLED: Whittlesea Public Gardens opening event

Published on 26 July 2024

A forecast of wild weather has forced the City of Whittlesea to make the difficult decision to cancel the event marking the official opening of the Whittlesea Public Gardens’ new skate park and urban zone.

The wet, windy and cold conditions forecast for Saturday, 27 July meant we would not be able to proceed with the skate workshops, basketball clinics and other planned activities.

The official opening will be rescheduled for later in the year.

The community consultation session on the planned upgrade of the Whittlesea Public Gardens off-leash dog park, scheduled to run concurrently with the opening event, will also not go ahead.

Residents can still have their say on the dog park’s plans by going to Council’s Engage page at engage.whittlesea.vic.gov.au or by attending an in-person session on Saturday, 10 August from 9am to 11am at Whittlesea Public Gardens, 158 Barry Road.

Council apologises for any inconvenience.
