Find your space at the Youth Precinct

A place youth can call their own

The Kingsbury Park Youth Precinct project has a clear objective: to enhance youth engagement and enjoyment by establishing a modern hub specifically designed by young people - for the young people of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

Through the redevelopment of this precinct, the City aims to enhance youth engagement and enjoyment by providing a modern, vibrant space that caters to their interests and aspirations.

The project will foster a sense of belonging among the diverse youth population of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and create opportunities for not only planned events to be held but also a place where young people can make it their own.

What to expect

The Youth Precinct will offer a variety of facilities and programs tailored to young people. Whether you're looking to connect with friends, explore new hobbies, or simply have a great time, this will be the place for you.

Key elements:

Following extensive consultation with youth and the community, several key elements have been identified for development in the revitalised Precinct:

1. A brand-new pump track, a first of its kind for Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
2. Feature play towers, including bridges, netting, and observation points, providing exciting and engaging spaces for recreational activities.
3. Hang-out spaces, including an elevated drop-in platform with an entry ramp, where people can gather and socialise.
4. A versatile sports area featuring a multipurpose court that can be used for basketball and various other ball sports.
5. Dedicated parking space for food trucks and a kiosk area that can be utilised for events.
6. Upgraded toilet facilities and additional storage areas for convenience and accessibility.
7. An interactive social spine with lighting, comfortable seating, and well-placed greenery to encourage social interactions and relaxation.
8. Repairs and enhancements to the existing skatepark, ensuring it remains safe and enjoyable for skaters.
9. Parkour and tag zones, providing dynamic and challenging areas for adventurous youth seeking physical activity and fun.

These elements have been carefully selected based on the input and preferences of the community and young residents, with the aim of creating a vibrant and inclusive space for recreation, socialisation, and active lifestyles.

The revitalised Precinct is set to become a thriving hub for various interests and age groups, catering to the diverse needs of the community.

We are calling for young artists aged 12-25 who live, work, study, or volunteer in Kalgoorlie-Boulder to submit a design that will be showcased at the new Youth Precinct. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for youth in Kalgoorlie-Boulder to showcase their creativity and contribute to a public art installation at the new Youth Precinct.

The winning artist will receive a mentorship with a local artist, working collaboratively to bring their design to life. The final artwork will be displayed as a feature piece on an amenities structure at the new Kingsbury Park Youth Precinct.

Designs should reflect a theme of connection to the community, personal identity, or the youth experience in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

The top designs, selected by the City’s Community Development team, will be displayed on this YourSay page from 7 May to 14 May for public voting. The artwork with the most votes will be announced as the winner at the Youth Awards on 17 May 2025.
