The new Scarborough Park Courts are now open to the public after a period of closure to renew the area and create an accessible, multi-play facility for the community.

Six new courts, player and spectator shelters, fencing, sporting infrastructure and accessible connecting paths have all been included in the upgrade creating a true multi-sport facility.

The revitalised area promises to be an exciting new addition to recreational and sport spaces in Bayside.
The project included installation of an acrylic hard-court surface, which unfortunately was affected by rain during the construction, resulting in some blistering. The contractor will undertake the works required in the warmer month of September to ensure the facility is an excellent standard for the community to enjoy for years to come. 

In the meantime, the area is safe and open for the community to make use of. Bookings can be made through the operators, Sydney Sports Management Group, via https://www.scarboroughsports.com.au/book-a-court/.

Storm events and tidal inundation is causing significant erosion of the area, which would impact the Grand Parade within five years at the current rate of erosion. The works are being undertaken to ensure the stability of the area and protect our foreshore from further erosion while a long-term management plan is being established. 

The work involves the transportation of sand from Kyeemagh to Brighton Le Sands and Dolls Point to Ramsgate via trucks. The work will require the closure of small areas of beach, which will be gated to ensure the safety of the public. Council has planned the projects to have minimal impact on the community while this essential work is completed. 

The work is being done on Crown Land with significant funding from the NSW Government.
