Redleap Recreation Reserve

Redleap Recreation Reserve in Mill Park is an 8.3 hectare site that contains a football/cricket oval, sports pavilion, two playgrounds, basketball stadium, lake, walking tracks, car parking and public toilets. The City of Whittlesea has developed a Master Plan for the reserve to guide long and short-term improvements.

As per the recommendation in the Master Plan, the southern play space will be upgraded in 2022 to cater for broader age groups.
