Pétanque at Dendy Park
We’ve installing a pétanque court near the Dacey Street corner of Dendy Park. The 4 free-to-use pistes are located close to existing public toilets and amenities and are easily accessible via the existing carparks and pathways.
Why were the pistes installed
Pétanque is a social sport that promotes connection, fun and inclusivity. The new pétanque pistes will increase the opportunity for accessible, passive, all-abilities outdoor recreation, with physical and mental health outcomes for a broad range of the community.
The project aligns to Bayside City Council’s Recreation Strategy action to improve passive play in municipal open spaces. Pétanque also emerged as a popular theme in the draft 2023-24 annual budget community engagement. Council supported the development of a pétanque court and allocated budget for the project in the 2023-24 capital works program.
Equipment including boules/ balls and the target ball are to be provided by court users.
