The space now hosts the Richmond Avenue Basin, boardwalks, interpretive signage and a sitting area, having previously been an area targeted by vandals and surrounded by sand and weeds.
The City of Rockingham spent $105,000 upgrading the site at heritage-listed Lake Richmond, which occupies 40ha and is home to thrombolites and abundant bird life.
The upgraded space has been planted with WA waterwise species and is home to the banjo frog and squelching frog.
A highlight of the upgrade is the Anne Mueller Environmental Walk, which takes visitors around the freshwater lake.
