Help us shape the Sport and Recreation Plan for Sir Zelman Cowen Park

To meet the needs of current and future users, the Sport and Recreation Plan will set a long-term vision for Sir Zelman Cowen Park in Kooyong guiding its activation over the next 10 years through facilities, programs, partnerships and sustainable practices to ensure it is future-ready.

Sir Zelman Cowen Park is a highly used sports and recreation precinct along the Gardiners Creek Trail. The area is heavily used on weekends and after school, with organised sports that cater for the community and school groups. The Park is also used for exercise, dog walking and passive recreation.

The Plan will align with the Gardiners Creek (KooyongKoot) Masterplan, which was developed in consultation with the community in 2020. It seeks to enhance environmental health, biodiversity and support recreation along the Gardiners Creek corridor. Previous consultation on the Masterplan can be seen here. The Plan will support the implementation of Zone 2 of Gardiners Creek (KooyongKoot) Masterplan.

Current Park facilities

The Park features five sportsfields, covering approximately 47,500 m2, that currently accommodate organised sport for football (soccer), Australian rules football, baseball, cricket, athletics, and ultimate frisbee. These are supported by two pavilions, floodlighting and other infrastructure such as goal posts, safety nets and batting cages.
