The new sports amenities building at Rogers Park, Woy Woy, is now complete with sports groups such as Woy Woy Roosters Junior Rugby League Club, Central Coast/NSW Cricket, and Peninsula Junior Touch Football the big winners.
The upgraded building has 10 toilets (male/female/unisex), an accessible toilet, a canteen with storage, two change rooms with showers, a referees’ room and three storage areas, plus accessible pathways.
Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart, said the upgraded facilities would encourage an active and healthy lifestyle and create opportunities for important social connections.
The project was funded under the Federal Government’s Community Development Grants Program for $800,000, with Council providing the remaining $550,000.
Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, said around 1,500 young cricketers, touch footballers and rugby league players on the Peninsula would benefit from the new infrastructure.
““This is worlds apart from the facility these clubs were using in 2019 which was dilapidated, not fit-for-purpose and ultimately condemned,” Wicks said.
“Sporting facilities like this mean more than just bathrooms, a canteen and storage. They provide a place for our community to gather and belong – something they can be proud of.”
