SOUTH BEACH STREETBALL COMPETITION

 

 

If you love shooting hoops this Sunday October 14 will be the day for you, when the inaugural South Beach 3×3 Streetball Competition will hit the South Beach Sports Court.

There will be mixed competitions for three different age groups, including 12-15 yrs, 16-20 yrs and 20+.

The games start at 10am, with registration from 9am on the day or online at https://bit.ly/2N2DzH7.

The free community event is proudly hosted by the City of Fremantle and Basketball WA.

The weather forecast is not great for Sunday so I hope that BOM is wrong this time.

FREO SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

It is really good to see how popular the Fremantle ESPLANADE YOUTH PLAZA is. The place was packed today with kids and families, doing all sorts of activities, and a couple of police officers also keeping an eye on it. But it is a very peaceful and respectful environment at the EYP and that is one of the best things of it all.

At the Spare Parts Theatre the FARM play is on but also the School of Puppetry doing workshops for kids, and outside in Pioneer Park there are big colourful figures made by the people of the wheatbelt town of Merredin.

FREO SKATE PARK BIG SUCCESS

 

What a delightfully positive article by a mother about the Fremantle skatepark in today’s Fremantle Herald. Do we need a more tangible example that it is a huge success?

No doubt those who complain about the costs to build it and future maintenance costs will find a negative angle, but I think it is just great that the Esplanade Youth Plaza has been embraced by most in the community.

It is a great and very respectful place for young people to hang out, for families to connect and for oldies like me to admire the acrobatic skill of the skaters, BMXers and scooter riders.
