Fairfield Park is a hive of activity as construction starts on the Adventure Park and Fairfield Youth and Community Centre.

Construction began on the $1.4 million Adventure Park in July and is expected to be completed in time for the summer holidays.

The $8.55 million Fairfield Youth and Community Centre construction began in June and it should be completed by November 2015.

These two state-of-the-art facilities, within a 10-minute walk of Fairfield CBD and station, will bring high-quality recreational opportunities to children of all ages.

Fairfield Youth and Community Centre will be a hub for young people in the heart of Fairfield City. 

It will feature indoor basketball courts, trampolines, a climbing wall, wi-fi access, meeting rooms and a large hall for sports and performing arts. The centre will be large enough to act as a regional recreation centre for young people across Western Sydney.

The Adventure Park is designed for children in their early teens, providing adventure play-style recreational opportunities for older children. 

It features an 11m high giant climbing net, sky bridge and slide combination (one of the tallest of its kind inAustralia), and a 33m long double flying fox.

This will all be in a setting of soft fall, surrounded by the natural shade of new andexisting trees.

Additionally, the new park will feature a foosball table, tabletennis, barbecues and picnic tables. There is also a park for younger children in the same area, so the whole family can enjoy the space.
