Picture this. You are standing in Dempster Park. Sunshine North’s hidden gem. This isn’t just any park. It’s named after William Robert Dempster. He was the Shire of Braybrook President. He served two terms 1925-1926 and 1937-1938.
Dempster Park is more than a green space. It’s a hub of activity. The North Sunshine Sporting Club calls it home. So do the Sunshine Cricket Club and the North Sunshine Football Club. Even the North Sunshine Tennis Club plays here. A scouting group also makes Dempster Park their meeting place.
Imagine the sounds. The crack of a cricket bat. The cheers of football fans. The rhythmic thud of tennis balls. The laughter of children playing. All within this vibrant community park.
This park isn’t static. It’s evolving. A multi-million dollar upgrade is planned for the main pavilion. This will enhance the facilities for all who use and enjoy Dempster Park.
The park offers more than just sports. There are picnic tables. There’s a playground for the kids. There is even parking. A basketball court and cricket nets provide further recreation. An oval and a tennis court cater to additional sporting needs. Even the family dog has a place to run and play. Dempster Park truly has something for everyone.
The council respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples. They are the Traditional Custodians of this land. Their Elders past present and future are honored.
So next time you’re in Sunshine North. Take a moment to appreciate Dempster Park. It’s a testament to community spirit. It’s a place where history and recreation meet. It’s a vibrant heart of Sunshine North.
