Young netballers playing at the Fred Finch Park’s netball courts will have an additional eight freshly upgraded courts to play on due to a four-month project from by Wollongong City Council.
The refurbishment is the second stage of works at the popular courts, as part of this stage, eight courts were resurfaced to reduce the incidences of asphalt cracking and there was also sub-structure drainage work to address issues with water pooling on the courts during and after severe weather events.
The courts were painted and line-marked to ensure they comply with Netball Australia Technical Guidelines and there was an extension of the existing lighting and sound infrastructure to improve player and spectator safety.
Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery, said “the work that has been undertaken here build on what was done during phase one last year and will not only make for a better and safer experience for players but make the courts more resilient to future weather events.”
