The Portland Touch Football Association is pleased to announce that the free public barbecues at Saville Park are now up and operational for use by both residents and visitors to the area. This new facility provides a great opportunity for families, friends, and community groups to come together and enjoy outdoor cooking in a scenic setting.
“We encourage everyone to make use of this fantastic addition to Saville Park,” current President Angela Green said. “It’s a great way to bring people together, and we hope the community will enjoy this space.”
To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of the facilities, users are kindly reminded to clean up after themselves. Proper disposal of waste and leaving the barbecue area as tidy as it was found will help maintain the space for future visitors. Additionally, for the security and safety of all users, surveillance cameras have been installed in the area to monitor activity. The Portland Touch Football Association urges all patrons to use the facilities responsibly and respectfully.
This project was made possible through the generosity and dedication of various supporters. A special thank you goes to an anonymous trustee for their generous donations across the Portland area. Additionally, the project received valuable support from Energy Australia’s community grants and Lithgow Council, whose assistance was instrumental in bringing the initiative to fruition.
Further appreciation is extended to the construction partners who worked diligently to complete the project. Green Concreting, Ben Cooper Electrical, and Matt Whitney Building all contributed their expertise and effort to ensure the barbecues were built to a high standard.
The Portland Touch Football Association is grateful to all who played a role in making this project a reality and looks forward to seeing the community enjoy the new facility at Saville Park for years to come.
For any inquiries or concerns regarding the use of the barbecues, please contact the Portland Touch Football Association via Facebook. Happy grilling!
