Oval resurfacing
Oval 2 in JJ Holland Park – bordered by Childers, Ormond and Altona streets – is well-used by a number of sporting groups year round. Works to install a new drainage and irrigation system were carried out in 2020 and the oval was reopened for the community and sporting clubs to use in November 2020.
Skate park
The skate park is located in the western corner of JJ Holland Park, adjacent to the BMX track and is an important meeting place for teenagers and young people.
In 2017, the City of Melbourne released its
Skate Melbourne Plan 2017-2027. Action 2.6 of the plan prioritised the upgrade of existing facilities, specifically JJ Holland Park.
Community consultation on the redesign of the skate park took place from December 2019 to February 2020.
The skate park redesign consultation summary is now available on the
Participate Melbourne website.
Synthetic turf renewal
The synthetic oval at JJ Holland Park – bordered by Kensington Road and Altona Street – is an important asset that is used by sporting clubs and the community throughout the year.
The scope of work for this project includes surface renewal, new line markings, installation of new drainage and improvements to the existing drainage network.
Renewal works commenced in early November 2021 and the oval reopened to the community and sporting clubs in March 2022.
