The master plan for Harrison Park includes an area with a youth focus which is centred around active sport, activity and social seating areas.

We spoke to those aged 12-24 who live, study, or play in Shellharbour to hear exactly what our Youth Area should look like. You can see the results from this consultation here!

We are currently in the Design phase, incorporating the feedback and suggestions we heard. We are hoping to share the concept design with you in late 2023.
