Blacktown Disability Sports Centre
Construction is underway on a $15 million Blacktown Disability Sports Centre that will provide new opportunities for exercise and physical activity.
Blacktown City Council and Disability Sports Australia are working together to deliver the indoor training facility at Blacktown International Sports Park, fully funded by the NSW Government’s Office of Sport.
Visitors will have access to 2 multipurpose courts, which will be used for a variety of sports and activities.
One of the advantages of the centre will be support for balancing training with work, family and study commitments. This will be provided by customised amenities and fully accessible change rooms.
Visitors can complement their training by using the gymnasium, aquatic recovery pool and accessible accommodation at the adjacent Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub (BEST).
School and community groups are among those expected to use the centre.
The Blacktown Disability Sports Centre is the latest project in Council’s fine record of serving its sporting community.
The centre will be able to accommodate:
- 8 x seated badminton courts
- 2 x wheelchair basketball courts
- 8 x boccia courts
- 3 x volleyball courts
- 16 x wheelchair fencing courts
- 3 x seated volleyball courts
- 1 x wheelchair rugby training court
- 2 x goalball courts
It will complement the nearby Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub, which provides state of the art facilities for training, sports medicine, rehabilitation, research and education, as well as accommodation, a café and play space.
The centre is due to be completed in mid-2025.
