Commenting on the Centre’s achievement, Blacktown City Mayor, Tony Bleasdale advised "since opening in February 2003, Blacktown Leisure Centre Stanhope has been a huge hit with the local and regional community.

“The centre offers a vast array of programs and activities and is also home to Dennis Johnson Branch Library and Blacktown Tennis Centre Stanhope.

“It’s great to see Blacktown Leisure Centre Stanhope reach yet another wonderful milestone with many more to come."

Blacktown Leisure Centre Stanhope is Blacktown City Council’s flagship leisure facility that has continued to grow and develop and has become a truly valuable asset for Western Sydney.
