Lloyd Park set for major upgrade Share
THE five-decade-old pavilion at Lloyd Park in Langwarrin is ready for a long-awaited facelift.
Langwarrin Football Netball Club celebrated its 100th birthday last year, although COVID-19 muted celebrations. This year has proved more fruitful, with the club returning to play and the old pavilion confirmed for an upgrade.
The building will soon undergo a $6.5 million redevelopment. The federal government allocated $3 million in taxpayer funding toward the project, while Frankston ratepayers will pay just under $3.5 million.
Langwarrin FNC president Norm Whiteside said the upgrade would help the club field a senior women’s side by 2022. “We haven’t taken on women’s teams in the senior football club to date because of the antiquated club house. However, with growth within our junior club, we’ll realise a senior women’s team as the new pavilion is handed over sometime mid-2023,” he said.
