Park facelift to boost sports opportunities

Cricket and soccer players will soon have a great new playing field to enjoy, with Jean Garvey Park in Gosnells set to be upgraded in 2025. 

Mayor Terresa Lynes said the park facelift was part of the City of Gosnells commitment to supplying quality sports grounds to the whole community. 

“As part of the upgrade, the oval’s underground drainage and reticulation will be improved, and the City will transform the playing fields so they are equal to the City’s premier sporting ovals,” she said. 

“Demand from sports clubs for quality playing fields in the City is consistently high and this upgrade will open up more space for games and training, as well as for residents who simply want to throw or kick a ball around with family and friends.

“Quality playing fields encourage residents to keep active, spend time outdoors and make valuable connections in the community.”

 Works are expected to begin in April 2025 and it is anticipated the fields will be ready for games in late 2025.
