Youth Challenge Park - Multi-Use Court
Youth Challenge Park (Centennial Park Youth Precinct) seeks to create an intergenerational community activity hub connected to the wider Centennial Precinct, focused on unstructured and accessible recreation types. Following completion and opening of Challenge Park to the public in 2021, a funding strategy was identified for the last remaining phase of the project – the Multi Use Court – involving municipal and state funding sources.
The creation of a high quality environment that will encourage and support youth focused and youth-friendly year round seasonal programs and events that celebrate diversity, identity and self-expression and encourage connectivity. The multi-use court will be the only outdoor, full size basketball court in Albany freely accessible for the community, and will breakdown barriers of affordability and provide disadvantaged youth with a space they can participate and engage in positive sporting activities.
Construction has commenced and is expected to be completed by May 2025
