  • A sandstone retaining wall around the north, west and southern sides of the park
  • An accessible pathway connecting the building to the street
  • An all-weather covered area installed at the front of the new amenities building to provide a protected viewing area for spectators all year round.

The amenities revamp commenced in February 2023 and was completed in July 2023.
