Background

The City of Cockburn plans to upgrade and enhance Davilak Park (Lucius Road, Hamilton Hill) to better serve its growing community. We want to hear your thoughts to help us prepare an updated design for the park.

In 2018, the City circulated the Western Suburbs Sporting Precinct Study (WSSPS), which included community feedback and a site masterplan for Davilak Park upgrades.

However, since 2018, community views and needs for the park may have evolved. Therefore, there is an opportunity to reassess and explore new possibilities for Davilak Park. This may include additional sporting space, improvements to the sporting infrastructure, clubrooms and playground or other recreational elements.

The City has engaged a community infrastructure consultant to guide the development of a new plan and we want to hear your thoughts on how this sporting and community space can best serve its community.

About Davilak Park

Davilak Park is a district-level sporting space that serves as a cricket oval in the summer and an AFL oval in the winter. The park is equipped with benches, playgrounds, exercise equipment, cricket nets, and a club room. Currently, the park is home to the Cockburn Cricket Club, the Cockburn Junior Football Club, the Cockburn Cobras Amateur Football Club, and the Cockburn Junior Cricket Club.

As one of the oldest sporting reserves in Cockburn, we know that Davilak Park may have significant importance to many in the community. As such, as part of this community engagement, we're keen to hear about your stories of Davilak Park, the memories made there, and any important community history or legacy.
