Ivanhoe Park
Ivanhoe Park is a well-loved open space in East Ivanhoe that includes a neighbourhood playground, BBQ facilities, seniors exercise area, public toilet, extensive planting, an oval and cricket nets, making it a great place for families to gather and enjoy outdoor activities.
It's home to several sporting clubs including Ivanhoe Football Club, Ivanhoe Junior Football Club, East Ivanhoe Bowling Club, Ivanhoe Croquet Club, Ivanhoe Tennis Club and group outdoor personal training.
Council is going to deliver upgrades to Ivanhoe Park as part of the Ivanhoe Sports Precinct Plan and the Banyule Youth Space Plan. We heard from community during the development of these plans and are now ready to bring them to life.
Planned upgrades
View the upgrade works planned for Ivanhoe Park.
In the next year, we will:
- Demolish the existing caretakers house and return the area to open space (mid-2025).
- Improve functionality and accessibility of the carpark, including accessible parking spaces and bicycle parking (late 2025).
- Develop a concept for new outdoor youth spaces for local young people (late 2025).
- Upgrade general amenity to the west of park including new paths and renovated garden beds and lawn (2026).
- Finalise youth spaces design and start construction (2026).
In the next five years, we will:
- Decommission the existing public toilet and build new public toilets as part of the Banyule Public Toilet Plan.
The federal government has committed funding to help implement some of the actions from the Ivanhoe Sports Precinct Implementation Plan including:
- converting the existing tennis courts into netball courts
- upgrading the Croquet Club.
Note: Timing of the netball courts and Croquet Club upgrades is subject to federal funding.
