Exciting News for Ascot Park

Ascot Park in Bertram is getting a makeover and we want to hear your thoughts on what would make this a great park.

Each year, as part of the City’s Parks Renewal and Upgrade Strategy a suitable park receives an upgrade through the Parks for People Project, with a total budget of $145,000. This year, it's Ascot Park’s turn!

Feedback from our events

From September to November 2020 we spoke with more than 130 people who use the space, live nearby or have a connection with Ascot Park (please see project updates for more info.) We asked how Ascot Park was used and what would make the park more comfortable, usable and a more attractive place to spend time. Your comments inspired the concept design which is available to view at the Bertram Community Centre (9am – 12noon, Monday – Saturday) or which can be downloaded from the Document Section on this page.

A second round of consultation was held September, 2021 for the beginner skate area. This had been identified as a priority in the initial consultation. Specialist business, Skate Sculpture, was engaged to work with the City to design the skating elements. The team from Skate Sculpture met onsite with skaters and community at the Ascot Park Pop Up, Saturday 18 September, to talk with local skaters on what elements they would like to see in the small skate area of the park upgrade.
