Basketball facilities at Pearce Reserve, Kings Langley, are
getting a $180,000 upgrade with the construction of 2
additional half courts.
Blacktown City Council and the Member for Greenway
Michelle Rowland MP successfully lobbied the Federal
Government for funding from Sport Australia through the
Community Sport Infrastructure Grants Program.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said Council is
focused on providing quality sport infrastructure for the
community.
“The new courts are part of Council’s commitment to create
a more active and healthier community,” Mayor Bali said.
“This project was initiated by a request from David Ward, a
member of the local community and Councillors, leading to
the expansion of the already popular single basketball court.
“Pearce Reserve already includes numerous features
including a walking path, playing fields, outdoor fitness
equipment, playground, cricket nets, an oval and 4 tennis
courts.
“The extra basketball courts will be the perfect addition to
Pearce Reserve.”
Member for Greenway Michelle Rowland said: “This is a
great project for local residents in Kings Langley. These
courts will be a great new facility for the whole community.”
Construction is expected to begin in July with an
approximate completion date in October. The local
community will be consulted ahead of construction. For any
information please contact Blacktown City Council 839 6000.
