City of Fremantle Takes Over Management of Fremantle Park Sport and Community Centre
The City of Fremantle has officially taken over the management of the Fremantle Park Sport and Community Centre, marking an important step in the delivery of recreation and community services across the city. The transition was announced on 4 August 2026 and places the facility under the City's Recreation Services team, which already manages the Fremantle Leisure Centre and Samson Recreation Centre.
Council officials said the change is intended to improve the delivery of sporting programs, community events and recreational activities while ensuring the centre remains a welcoming place for residents of all ages. The management transition is expected to provide greater coordination between the City's recreation facilities and create more opportunities for community participation.
The Fremantle Park Sport and Community Centre is widely used by local sporting clubs, schools, community organisations and residents. It hosts a variety of indoor sports, fitness activities, social programs and community events throughout the year. Under council management, the venue will continue supporting these activities while exploring opportunities to expand services.
The City of Fremantle said the centre plays an important role in encouraging healthy lifestyles, social connection and community wellbeing. Recreation facilities provide spaces where people can participate in organised sport, fitness classes, youth programs and cultural activities while strengthening local community networks.
Officials also highlighted that bringing the centre into the City's Recreation Services portfolio will improve operational consistency across Fremantle's public recreation facilities. Shared management is expected to support better planning, maintenance and customer service while making it easier to coordinate programs across multiple venues.
Local sporting clubs welcomed the announcement, noting that continued investment in community infrastructure helps increase participation in sport and provides improved facilities for players, volunteers and families. Community centres also contribute to local economic activity by supporting events and attracting visitors.
The City said existing users of the facility will continue to have access during the transition, with no immediate disruption to scheduled activities. Future plans include reviewing programming opportunities, strengthening partnerships with community groups and encouraging greater public participation.
The management change reflects Fremantle's ongoing investment in community infrastructure and recreational services as the city continues supporting healthy, active and connected neighbourhoods.
