what is a youth recreation facility???

Reading though comments on the Riotact today it seems that we can be clearer on what this facility is.

It is an outdoor recreation space - in essence a playground for big kids. It will have some outdoor performance spaces for impromptu shows, Woden Valley Community Festival events and Youth Week events, for instance. It will have a range of shaded seating areas, activity spaces such as climbing wall and basketball, and a skate plaza and bowl area.

It is not is a youth centre. The Woden Youth Centre is a short walk away and provides an excellent service for young people in Woden, so there is no need for another centre.

Have a look when we post draft plans on Monday or come along on Saturday to the park.

Please remember to post a comment here to let us know what you think of the design - we need to hear your voice to make sure we get it right for as many people as possible.
