Work at Caulfield Park is continuing and all is expected to be completed by late August/early September. Once completed the park will be so much better than before. While there are some that have self styled themselves friends or protecters of the park, the truth is that it is a park for all. It is used by passive users, sports clubs, the elderly, children, etc. As such the Council is seeking to ensure that the very best facilties are provided. The new Pavilion will shortly be opened and will be able to cater for a wide variety of interests.
It is truly unfortunate that in improving the park some well established trees were required to be removed however Council will be planting over 100 new trees, far more than those gone.
Certainly at the beginning the grounds may look new but within a few years, once the trees become established Caulfield park will be even better than ever. I only need to look at other parks to know this is true. Invariably Council receives opposition to change - in many cases vociferous opposition but ultimately all but the churlish recognise that the finished product is an improvement.
