We would like your feedback on the Draft Walker Park Master Plan
Located on Whitehorse Road in Nunawading, Walker Park is an icon of the local area and the Draft Master Plan has attracted a diverse range of interest from different community groups. Currently, the park offers a variety of sporting and recreational opportunities, such as AFL, cricket, gymnastics, tennis, walking, dog walking and play. With limited space available to accommodate all groups, we want the community’s feedback to help us shape the park’s future over the next 15 years.
The Master Plan will set the vision and direction for Walker Park to meet the needs of our changing and growing community, complementing the adjacent civic centre precinct including the newly built Performing Arts Centre, known as “The Round”.
In 2024, we asked the community to share ideas for the future of Walker Park. Using your feedback, along with detailed research, we have developed a Draft Master Plan to guide the park’s future. We encourage you to read the Walker Park Draft Master Plan Study Report and the Walker Park Stakeholder Engagement Report to learn more about what has informed the Draft Walker Park Master Plan.
The proposed changes to Walker Park over the next 15 years include:
- New district gymnastics centre to serve 550+ members
- Two new multi-purpose netball and tennis courts with floodlights, available for seasonally allocated club-use and for free public hire
- A new play space with fitness equipment
- Upgraded football and cricket facilities including improved change rooms for female participants
- New pedestrian circuit and increased tree canopy for improved accessibility and biodiversity
- Creation a passive recreation area for rest and relaxation
Other proposed changes:
- Removal of the existing tennis courts
- Removal of Pigeon Club
