Temporary signage has been put up about the park.

Essentially, the new artificial turfed soccer field is a dog free zone. Most other areas are now off lead, with a few exceptions, including (obviously) the kid's playground and surrounds.

Of course, there's no mention of use of the park, but it appears the East-West link road tunnel could be back on the agenda, if the new state government listens to Sir Rod Eddington (Infrastructure Australia), and VECCI.

After meeting with users of the track, this is a preliminary sketch for a redesign of the bicycle tracks encircling the skate park at JJ Holland Park.

You can see a large ramp, leading to some tabletops, (one track larger than the other) as well as a smaller, snakey pump track.

There is also a proposed area for kids and/or scooter, on the right of the skate park.

If you have any comments, please forward them to sarah.doubleday@melbourne.vic.gov.au
