Bowled over by new upgrades in Hampton Park

Hampton Park Bowls Club is celebrating its new home with the official opening of its upgraded facilities.

The upgraded facilities will support the club’s continued growth and ability to welcome new members.

The $1.5 million project, which was delivered in partnership with Council and Sport and Recreation Victoria, includes an extended social area and servery, a new entrance, kitchen, office and meeting space, additional equipment storage, and two new canopies.

On Thursday 21 August, City of Casey Mayor Stefan Koomen and Deputy Mayor Melinda Ambros were joined by Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas to officially open the upgraded facility.

Mayor Cr Koomen said that these improvements are much more than just upgrades, and they are an investment in the well-being and connection of the community.

“Clubs like Hampton Park Bowls are the beating heart of our neighbourhoods,” he said.

“They bring people together across ages and backgrounds, foster friendships, and provide a sense of belonging.

“These facilities will ensure the club has a dedicated space to call its own for many years to come.”

“As Casey grows, so too does the demand for high-quality and inclusive sporting facilities. Council is committed to working with partners and local clubs to ensure our community has the spaces it needs to stay healthy, active and connected.”
