Recommendations

• Provide an additional small local open space to make it easier for people to walk to open space in their area.
• Expand Edwards Place Reserve so that the community can use it when Edinburgh Gardens is at capacity, given its popularity.
• Improve the quality and diversity of recreational facilities across the small local open spaces in Fitzroy North to appeal to all age groups.
• Design future open spaces to provide a diversity of facilities for the existing and future population.
