A HEALTHY OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE

Warralily’s new 7.5-hectare sports precinct, including senior and junior ovals, netball courts, a sports pavilion, community open space, children’s playground and car parking will become a welcome part of life at Warralily later this month.

The $7.4 million public infrastructure, developed by Warralily, the City of Greater Geelong and State Government, is perfectly positioned by the Armstrong Creek School and Village Warralily, as well as being connected to the estate’s landscaped creek centrepiece and homes by the pathway network.

The precinct will provide residents with opportunities to keep fit, build friendships and feel part of a team — as well as give local clubs the facilities they need to grow and prosper.

The new Armstrong Creek Sharks Junior Football Club will be calling the new precinct on Central Boulevard home and are excited by the opportunity to provide a pathway for local children to participate in AFL. Community response to the new club’s U9, U11 and U13 program has been positive, following the success of the Warralily sponsored Armstrong Creek Auskick program that saw more than 60 children participate this year.

The Armstrong United FC, currently the biggest sporting club in the region, will also move in after a hugely successful first year of operation in 2018. The club aims to rapidly expand over 2019-2020 with plans for further teams to join our current U/7’s, U/9’s, U/11’s, Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s teams. With supportive sponsors like Warralily, Armstrong United FC is guaranteed to succeed in becoming a well-known, reputable and family-orientated sporting club.

Warralily is proud to be a major sponsor of the Armstrong Creek Sharks AFL Club and the Armstrong United Football Club to inspire a healthy outdoors lifestyle for the growing local community. Other sports utilising the facilities will include netball and cricket.

“Warralily, through community development officer Nina Bendon, has been a great supporter and provider for our new club. Much needed sponsorship dollars will assist the start-up and functioning of the club including team uniforms, playing and coaching equipment and first aid supplies.”

“Warralily’s partnership will ensure the long-term viability of our club and allow us to provide opportunities for families and residents of our region to be involved in physical activity. Partnership funds will go towards vital new playing equipment to allow us to take on more junior players/teams in 2019 and to keep our registration costs for juniors at a minimum to promote access to playing sport for local families.”
