The McCallum Park Active Area is part of the government's commitment to developing local sport and recreation infrastructure to support healthier, better-connected communities.
The $4.8 million multi-sport precinct was made possible through a $926,653 grant from the WA Government's Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, which aims to increase participation in sport and recreation activities through sustainable infrastructure development.
An additional $2.5 million was provided through the Federal Government's Investing in Our Communities Program, with the Town of Victoria Park contributing the remainder of the project funding.
The revitalised area includes basketball courts with full-court murals by local Indigenous artists Kamsani Bin Salleh and Chris Nixon, a competition-ready skate plaza, and a new BMX pump track.
The precinct has also delivered upgraded landscaping, spectator areas, a junior scooter track, and active community spaces designed to bring people together.
The area's large-scale artworks recognise the important land connection to the Swan River and the cultural significance of the area.
The delivery of this project is part of PlayOn WA — the WA Government's bold initiative to help guide investment in community sport and recreation infrastructure across the State through to 2030.
