Long Gully Recreation Reserve Bendigo

Client

City of Greater Bendigo ​

Collaboration

As a part of the Healthy Hearts of Victoria initiative, the City of Greater Bendigo engaged THLA to design and document upgrades to the active recreation infrastructure around the oval and alongside the splash park.

The overarching objective of the project was to encourage more community members to use the reserve with a focus on those who are not currently physically active.


The design included:

  • An outdoor fitness equipment node with three items
  • 1.5m wide footpath around the oval and footpath connecting Long Gully Trail, splash park and walking track
  • Solar lighting infrastructure
  • Seating along the walking track
  • Tree planting around the splash park
  • Wayfinding and informative signage around the Long Gully Oval and the intersection with Long Gully Trail
  • A public toilet (prefabricated model) to service Splash Park, fitness node and walking track.
