Park upgrade begins

City of Melbourne fenced off a section of Docklands Park last month in order to complete upgrade works.

Around half the park between Collins and Bourke streets was fenced off from the Bourke St end.

A council spokesperson said the park would be closed to the public in stages during the works, which are expected to be completed in January next year.

“The enhancement works will include a significant upgrade of the park and landscape, the removal of old asphalt and the replacement of bluestone pavers, the construction of stairs and the installation of new seating, lighting and trees,” a council spokesperson said.
