Project update
Vincent's largest Tennis Centre and surrounding park on Fitzerald Street will undergo a major transformation as the City sets its Robertson Park Development Plan in motion. Work started on 8 April 2024 on the first in a series of improvements that will see the entire space reimagined.
The first stage will focus on the Tennis Centre. Courts will be refurbished in line with Tennis Australia standards, complete with new lighting, fencing, multi-use sports courts and walkways to provide a much-improved playing experience. For more detailed information and updates on the project, please visit the City of Vincent website.
Robertson Park will benefit from a completely new public open space. Plans include a nature playground, outdoor exercise equipment, lighting, improvements to the dog exercise area and a public toilet.
Background
Robertson Park is classified as District Open Space in the City’s Public Open Space Strategy, whose purpose is to accommodate a variety of uses.
The park is a well-used space by the community with rich culture and history and is a vital community asset in providing sufficient community recreational and sporting opportunities.
The Robertson Park Development Plan responds to a need for more flexible, multi-use public space in Vincent while ensuring our ageing facilities are renewed. With increased density, smaller backyards and a growing population in our inner-city area, access to recreation and leisure activities is more important than ever.
Robertson Park Development Plan was endorsed in September 2021.
Project details
The Development Plan includes:
Introduction of multi-sports courts
Dual use tennis hit up wall
Upgrade to the tennis centre – including courts, fences and lighting
