Greening up sport court in Cedar Grove

A bright green basketball court is bringing big smiles to Brushwood Park.

The $9,000 project has transformed the ageing surface into a vibrant, safer and more enjoyable space for sport lovers.

The project includes a repaint of the court’s base layer to improve its durability, as well as crisp trimming along the edges.

Repainted basketball line markings also give recreational players clearer court boundaries to enjoy.

The existing basketball/netball tower was fully refurbished and repainted to match the revitalised court.

All painted areas also underwent slip resistance testing to ensure players can move with confidence.

Division 9 Councillor and Deputy Mayor Scott Bannan says the works give locals a great space to unwind.

‘Everyone loves tossing a ball around with their mates but there’s just nothing like shooting hoops on a Shrek-coloured court,’ Cr Bannan says.

‘It’s a good bit of fun, and it’s already shaping up as a prime spot for friendly games, weekend practice and a good bit of community competition.’

The project was funded through the Division 9 Local Infrastructure Program.
