The facility is now officially open to the community, providing an exciting new sporting opportunity for all ages.
The $1M project, funded through the NSW Government’s Office of Sport’s Greater Cities Sport Facility Fund, is a game-changer for local sport, bringing the thrill of beach volleyball to a region not traditionally associated with the sand-based sport.
Blacktown Mayor Brad Bunting said the new facility highlights the Council's commitment to providing a range of sporting opportunities for the community.
“Our vibrant and growing community deserves access to as many sporting and recreational activities as possible,” Mayor Bunting said.
“There is no reason why a sport like beach volleyball should be confined to coastal areas. This facility is about equity, opportunity, and fostering talent right here in Western Sydney.”
Mayor Bunting also highlighted the venue's potential to produce future champions.
“This complex opens the door for young athletes in our region to dream big. Who knows, the next Olympic Beach Volleyball gold medallist might come from Glenwood,” he said.
The multi-court complex is the first of its kind in Western Sydney and offers opportunities for both competitive and recreational beach volleyball.
The venue is designed to cater to a wide range of skill levels, making it accessible and welcoming to the entire community.
Blacktown MP Stephen Bali said the new volleyball courts are a fantastic addition to the community, providing a space for people to stay active, improve skills like coordination and agility, and, just as importantly, enjoy themselves.”
Volleyball NSW will work closely with the Council to activate the venue with programs and competitions designed to engage the entire community.
