With the track works well underway, it was pleasing to see at the latest walk through with Council and Polytan that that track is starting to again look like an athletics track.
Ground work are nearing completion with the stabilisation works and compaction being finished. Power and data cabling has been run under the track and the track drainage system is being installed.
In the last few weeks we have seen the demolition of the long jumps pits/runways and the old playground area. The long jumps runways have had some extra work to ground underneath to stabilize the runways to ensure their longevity.
The next few weeks will see the the completion of the track drainage and works to start on the track lighting system. It is expected that the asphalt base layer works for the track will be started around early August.
We are also pleased to see that even with the extra work to stabilise the track, it is still on scheduled to be completed on time – March 2025.
Reminder – Have Your Say – Athletics Track Playground
With the old playground at the track being demolished last season due its age and safety concerns, Knox Council, as part of annual Capital Works Program, has proposed a new playground at the track and is now seeking community feedback on the proposal.
Proposed Playground at Knox Athletics Track
The proposed location is on the hill (NE Corner of the of the facility) near the 200m start.
