New park for Clyde North

A new park has opened in Clyde North.

Developer Mirvac announced the official opening of Clara Park in late September, a new green space located in the heart of its 260-hectare Smiths Lane master planned community in Clyde North.

To celebrate the milestone, a community event was hosted, where residents explored the newly completed park with activities including play zone adventures, basketball games, and family-friendly entertainment, as well as treats from Humble Merchant Café.

Located on Clara Drive, Clara Park is Smiths Lane’s fourth park.

Key features include sheltered BBQ areas, ideal for weekend gatherings with family and neighbours, play zones for younger children, a basketball court with a netball ring for sport enthusiasts, and a multi-sport hit-up wall, catering to cricket, tennis and more.

Glen Greening, development director for Masterplanned Communities in Victoria at Mirvac, said: “More than just a park, Clara Park has been designed as a place where residents can connect, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors right on their doorstep.

“The opening of Clara Park marks another important milestone for our growing neighbourhood and offers essential amenities for the fast-developing south-east community.”

Smiths Lane is already home to around 3,000 residents and will ultimately deliver over 3,000 additional homes across the next decade.

Mirvac recently announced the sale of the Smiths Lane Town Centre site to Coles, who will also become the major tenant of the future town centre.

The planned town centre will include a full-line Coles supermarket, a mix of specialty retailers and dining options and inviting public spaces to relax, gather, and connect, subject to relevant authority approvals.
