Bayside Council endorsed the Mascot Oval Upgrade to proceed to the lodgement of a Development Application at the Council Meeting on Wednesday 26 March.

The concept of a netball court at Mascot Oval will also be investigated and a report will be made to the City Works and Assets Committee.

The upgrade of the Mascot Oval is included in the Capital Projects Program for the 2024/2025 financial year, and following extensive community consultation Council commenced detailed designs of the project.

Lionel Bowen Park, commonly known as Mascot Oval, is highly valued by the community and this project will transform the area into modern sporting precinct that meets the needs of the local community and sporting clubs.

The oval and park are historically significant and help provide the local community with much open space within a heavily urbanised, industrial, and residential area.
