Park life on the up A $300,000 revamp of Keast Park in Seaford has been completed in time for families and visitors to enjoy during the spring and summer months. Natural space with sand pits and giant boulders have been created alongside rolling timber walkways and a mega-swing. Timber benches, boardwalks and improved beach access via granite pathways makes the park a top destination for picnics with the addition of an extra barbecue and more tables. Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said the redevelopment of Keast Park complements the Keast Park Pavilion. “This park is a favourite among residents and visitors and is one of the major entrances to Frankston, so council has ensured it gives a positive first impression,” Mr Hovenden said. Playgrounds throughout the Frankston area are being upgraded including improvements to Ballam Park. About $900,000 is also being spent on upgrades to the Frankston Waterfront playground and $600,000 worth of works at the George Pentland Botanic Gardens are expected to begin next year.
