History
The park opened in September, 2020, following years of community engagement about the former Warburton Pool site, which closed in 2009-10.
The Warburton Community Recreation Precinct (now Warburton Water World) project came about to replace the former pool with a community playground, water play park and event space.
Community groups worked with Council to develop concept plans for the site, with workshops held in 2016. In 2018, updated plans and 3D images were presented to the community, ahead of construction beginning in 2019.
This project was created in partnership with the Federal Government (which provided $1.7m for the project through the Regional Growth Fund), the Warburton Advancement League (which provided $20,000 for a train engine with junior slide) and the Warburton Sports Centre Committee (which provided $120,000 towards the playspace equipment). Council contributed the remaining $2.8 million towards the project.
Students at Millwarra and Warburton primary schools were given the opportunity to name the new park and chose the name Warburton Water World.
Please visit safely
When visiting Warburton Water World in warmer months, please be safe when parking, crossing any roads and using the park equipment.
Wash hands regularly, be sun-smart and ensure children are appropriately supervised - especially around water.
When planning your travel to the Yarra Valley, have a back-up location in mind, in case you arrive to a full car park.
