With the final play equipment arriving this week, we’re on track to finish the Lakes Entrance Foreshore Parkby October— just in time for the Melbourne Cup long weekend.

Playground equipment, shelters, seating, and drinking fountains are already in place, drawing plenty of attention. Next week, gardeners will get to work, and soft fall rubber and mulch will be installed, creating a safe, accessible and fun space for all.

This park will be a fantastic spot for everyone to enjoy, thanks to water play, nature play, and inclusive design features.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared feedback and helped shape this project - get ready to spin, swing and slide into summer.

Consultation has concluded.

The Lakes Entrance community came together on Saturday 1 February as a 70-strong crowd of locals, business owners and project contributors - including artists and developers - celebrated the official opening of three major foreshore projects: Krauatungalung Walk Stage 1, Lakes Foreshore Park and Lakes Entrance Water Sports Pavilion.

With a total investment of more than $3.5 million, these initiatives are designed to enhance the town's appeal for tourists while also enriching community spaces. 

The projects have been delivered in partnership with the Australian Government; the Victorian Government (Lakes Entrance Foreshore Park funding from its 2020-2021 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund); the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC); and local contractors.  

These additions to the Lakes Entrance foreshore provide long-term benefits, foster greater inclusivity, accessibility, and tourism opportunities, providing an economic boost for the town and region.
