Stewart Valley Sports Ground

Stewart Valley is a very tight knit community, and since they lost their school and community centre on August 26, 2022 due to a fire when lightening hit the underside of the roof they have rallied to do everything they can to get back on their feet and provide community spaces until it is all rebuilt. They community has found an opportunity on the school sportsground, which has a small jungle gym, swings and teeter totters, and the Daycare facility (which was fortunately not damaged in the fire).

As funds are raised, the community would like to upgrade the space to include ball diamonds, complete with backstops, a basketball court with two nets and equipment, portable bleachers, and modify the track and field track, long jump runs, and playground equipment. Along with a spruce up of the sapce, the community want to further unite by holding sports days & events, spruce up the park, and have areas where everyone can get involved and be active together.

“Since the fire, our kids mental health has struggled, we want to give our green spaces a much needed upgrade so our kids feel safe and secure in a really fun environment.”
