Construction of Council’s new youth centre in Penshurst is underway, which will offer a new supportive space for young people in the Georges River area to come together.

The youth centre, which is set to open in March 2021, will enable a range of actives with a training kitchen, halfcourt basketball facility and multi-use spaces for meetings and events. The centre will be a great asset for local youth groups and services, along with the other transformational works occurring at the site.

Council’s vision for Penshurst Park is taking shape, and will not only see this site become a regional sporting hub for use by a wide variety of sporting groups, but also a multi-use facility for the whole community to make use of and enjoy.

The youth centre is part of the Stage 2 of the project, which will also see the construction of a 275-seat grandstand, outdoor exercise station, accessible amenities and change rooms, car park upgrade and a synthetic sports field with hydraulic cricket wicket.

This park will meet the needs of the whole community, with something for everyone. It also includes the recently completed Penshurst Park Inclusive Adventure Playground which opened in June with picnic and barbecue facilities, shelters, seating and new inclusive play equipment to accommodate all ages and abilities.
