The City of Armadale’s $8million Harrisdale sporting pavilion and playing field is almost finished and will be boots-ready by early next year.
The expected completion date is next month with only the building’s internal fit out and the car park to be finished.
After this there will be the installation of a children’s playground and shade structure, which will include a barbecue and alfresco area.
Armadale mayor Henry Zelones said the pavilion and playing field was strategically located between Harrisdale Primary School and Harrisdale Secondary School on Gracefield Boulevard.
“All three sites form part of an important education and community precinct to service the district,” he said.
“The precinct is the first of nine where the city will enter into shared use arrangements with the Department of Education over its use.
“The remainder of the shared sites will be delivered in the city’s high-growth areas over the next 15 years.”
Mr Zelones said the facility was state of the art.
“The facility will include a multi-purpose playing field with lighting, pavilion for sports and community use, playground and car park,” he said.
“The pavilion will feature four change rooms, multipurpose function rooms, a kitchen kiosk, alfresco area, storage areas and tiered outdoor seating for spectators.”
An expression of interest will go out to interested user groups over the next few months.
The project was funded using $800,000 from the Department of Sport and Recreation.
