Reimagining Footscray Park for the future
Published on 10 November 2025
Footscray Park is a well-loved and well-visited place for our community to relax, play and connect – and Council wants your help to plan for its future.
We are asking for your ideas on how to make this park even better to ensure it continues to best support community needs and interests moving forward.
Footscray Park is the premier park in the City of Maribyrnong, and is home to some of our main festivals and events. We are updating the 2011 Footscray Park Master Plan and we want to hear from everyone who uses and enjoys the Park, including residents and visitors.
We are also asking for ideas for the location of a future regional playspace, following the removal of the previous playspace at Footscray Park in 2024.
“Community feedback, along with investigations by Council, will be used to update this master plan, which will help guide how the park is developed and enjoyed in the future,” Mayor, Cr Pradeep Tiwari said.
You can share your ideas with us online, or you can come along to our in-person event and speak directly to Council staff.
In person event:
- Saturday 15 November 2025 Footscray Park, near Western Lawn, from 10am-1pm
This in-person event at Footscray Park will have fun activities, a coffee van and sausage sizzle with the Lions Club.
