Urban Parks Active Wellbeing Program

Parks play an important role in boosting the health and wellbeing of local communities across Victoria. These open green spaces help connect people with nature, and provide opportunities for recreation, relaxation and spending time with friends and family.

The Urban Parks Active Wellbeing Program is a $21 million project funded by the Victorian Government, which delivered upgrades to 21 parks across Melbourne, to ensure they continue to support healthy communities. Find out more about these works below.
