Athletes of all ages and sporting codes have scored a win as outdated amenities at CV Kelly Park in Girraween are set to be replaced with the help of $2.5 million from the Minns Labor government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CV Kelly Park, home to Girraween Athletics Club, Girraween Little Athletics Club and the All Saints Toongabbie Tigers Rugby League Club, will receive a much-needed upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new building will break down barriers to female participation by providing gender-inclusive and accessible facilities and further add to the park\u2019s role as a sporting hub for the community with the addition of a multi-purpose meeting space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minns Labor Government\u2019s is focused on building better communities. Our investment in new, gender-inclusive changerooms and accessible toilets and showers will ensure that all members of the local grassroots sporting community will be able to play and train in an inclusive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
