Stockland reveals vision for $11 million community sports precinct in outer south west Sydney

Property developer, Stockland, has unveiled an artist impression of its planned $11 million community sports precinct at its Willowdale community at Denham Court south west of Sydney.

Designed in close collaboration with the local community, the Sports Precinct will house one full sized AFL competition field, which doubles as two full sized football pitches, one secondary training field, one cricket pitch, cricket training nets and an amenities block including BBQ facilities and sports club facilities.

Walking paths will be built to connect the precinct with the existing nature reserve, allowing residents to move freely between the sporting fields, open green spaces and the upcoming all-abilities ‘Variety Livvi’s Place’, with the ultimate aim of improving ease of access between key recreational areas to create a more walkable community.

An 88-space car park, including eight accessible spots, will be constructed to provide access to those further afield in the community, and assist those with mobility challenges.

Revealing the artist impressions, Willowdale said Sophie Ale Project Director, Sophie Ale stated “we’re excited to give the community a preview of the eagerly anticipated Willowdale Sports Precinct.

“Stockland is committed to creating vibrant, dynamic and active communities, and the Sports Precinct with its best-in-class facilities, which will be accessible by more than 3,000 Willowdale residents, as well as those from surrounding suburbs, will provide just that. 

“We are proud to be investing in another significant recreational space at Willowdale, which will provide multiple sporting and active recreation activities to cater to our growing community.”

Construction of the sports precinct is due to commence in the last quarter of this year with an estimated delivery timeframe of 10 - 12 months.
