West Beach Recreational Hub

The new West Beach Recreation Hub will be the epicentre for thousands of athletes and supporters, but we need your support.

Every year the West Beach facility, including ovals, sheds and basic change rooms, hosts a number of Adelaide University Sport clubs including hockey, cricket, soccer, football, gliding, SCUBA and more (kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking etc.), and their visitors.

Currently, these facilities do not support the breadth of clubs who utilise the grounds, or the athletes and their supporters who have limited to no access to basic amenities. 

The development of the new facility will promote growth in sport, particularly for women, and will assist in increasing the number of sports that can utilise the facility.

Thanks to the support of donors thus far, the new West Beach Recreation Hub is well on its way to being complete. With construction due to be completed in September 2021, there is still time to contribute to the successful completion of this important project.

"Every brick laid is a reminder of the generosity of donors. Thanks to them, soon we will have a new home for our sport and fitness community."Michelle Wilson, General Manager, AU Sport
