More recreational opportunities coming to our City

Published on 24 October 2024

Investing in recreational spaces is an investment in our future, as we provide opportunities to lead healthier, more active lives. That is why we are delivering the $4.2 million fitness park on the corner of Avenel and Sackville streets in Canley Vale.

I’m pleased to update that works at Avenel Fitness Park are steadily progressing, and once complete, residents can look forward to some of its state-of-the-art features including a multi-sports court, skate park, kick-about lawn, and outdoor gym equipment, together with walking and jogging paths, and open spaces for group activities.  

By creating more fitness opportunities across the City, we aim to make it easier for everyone to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives, regardless of age or fitness level.

Meanwhile, we are also continuing with the transformation of Fairfield Showground, as we plan to deliver a community and events centre unlike anything our City has seen before.

The facility will include modernised facilities, and expanded event and indoor sport spaces, making the Showground a premier venue for community events, cultural celebrations, and recreational activities.

Council recently conducted community consultation asking what residents would like to see included in the facility, and feedback received is now being considered as we develop the detailed design plans. You can find the draft concepts on our website: Fairfield Showground Community and Events Centre | Fairfield City Council (nsw.gov.au).

These initiatives are part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all residents. Our goal is to create vibrant, inclusive spaces that will benefit our community for years to come, and I can’t wait to see these exciting improvements come to life.
