Sport and recreation

The City designs, constructs, maintains and enhances a range of facilities for the community to enjoy including family play spaces, swimming pools and a splash park, ovals and sporting fields, skate parks and BMX tracks. Our facilities are available for use by local sports clubs as well as individuals and community groups. Bendigo is known for its historic and beautiful parks and gardens and natural reserves which are perfect to walk, run, ride or play.

The City also supports local sporting clubs by providing governance support, financial information, and guidance regarding facility hire and usage. Sporting clubs can also contact the City with any enquires regarding their health and wellbeing goals, such as healthy choices, gender equity, alcohol and other drug support, or mental health.
