About Torongo Park

Torongo Park, formerly referred to as Officer District Park, is currently under construction and will be a regional 10-hectare adventure and nature park.

Located on Lansell Avenue in Officer, Torongo Park will provide several new opportunities for the local community to recreate, socialise, play, and connect.

The Torongo Park location was selected as part of the Cardinia Road Precinct Structure Plan. The Park’s masterplan and detailed designs were also developed with extensive community consultation.

The park is being delivered in stages, with exciting features currently being constructed as part of the stage 1 works.

Stage 1 works will include:

• An incredible multi-level playground with a variety of play zones and experiences including two 20m-long embankment slides. This play space will cater for a wide variety of ages from the very young to adventurous adults.
• Cardinia Shire’s first purpose-built Parkour Zone will incorporate a mixture of obstacles of different heights, angles and shapes. This space will allow users of all ages and abilities to create their own moves and motion through the space.
• Fitness stairs and equipment – The community’s desire for running stairs for fitness purposes has been recognised after the community consultation and has been incorporated into the design of Torongo Park. The fitness appeal of this park is also enhanced by the 1km loop track which runs around the hillside incorporating exercise equipment stations along the way.
• A lookout from the top of the hillside will allow the community to appreciate the amazing views over the southern part of the Shire and out to Western Port.
• A dedicated dog off leash area, where both people and pooches can enjoy social interaction and experiencing the outdoors together.
• Public toilets and picnic facilities will be constructed at the central plaza area.  There will also be shelters and seating provided in the play spaces and dog off leash area.
• A wetland area.

Construction is currently on track and the park is expected to be completed and opened to the community by the end of 2024.
