What kind of a park has two concrete bowls? A skate park of course! And not only bowls. Lewis Park in Wantirna South also has a snake run and a steel spine ramp. But Lewis Park is not just a paradise for skateboarders and BMX riders. It’s also a green oasis for the entire community. It boasts a range of facilities, making it a favourite spot for sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and families alike. Sporting ovals beckon cricket and football fans, while tennis courts offer a chance to perfect your serve. Lewis Park also features a playground for children to enjoy and public toilets for everyone’s convenience. What makes Lewis Park even more special is its transformation into a cooler and greener space with the “Reimagining Blind Creek” project. Blind Creek, which flows through the park, was once a concrete channel. Now, it has been naturalized, creating a thriving habitat for native species. You can stroll along the boardwalk, admire the wetlands, and spot ducks making their new homes. Remember to keep your dog on a leash to protect the wildlife. Lewis Park is a testament to the power of community effort and a delightful destination that combines recreation, nature, and sustainability.
