Parks and Reserves
Our parks and gardens in City of Prospect
Open space areas play an important role in the lifestyle of our families as well as the positive impact they have on the amenity of our City. As such, council remains committed to maintaining these beautiful parks and recreational facilities for everyone to enjoy. For members of the public using our parks and reserves for gatherings and events, we suggest bringing a garbage bag to clean the site after you have used it. Please take responsibility for removing excess rubbish to avoid bin overflow.
