Our lifestyle is enriched through sport, recreation and outdoor enjoyment in an attractive settingContext
Our participation in recreational and leisure activities is high, with rates well above state and national averages. Physical health is important as it contributes to overall wellbeing and enables people to participate fully in work, family and community life.
Warringah is fortunate to have a diverse range of recreational and leisure options; an abundance of parks, reserves, beaches, lagoons, walking and cycling paths. However, access to bushland and waterways needs to be balanced with the need to preserve them.
The range of recreational facilities available includes playgrounds, sportsfields and indoor leisure facilities. The design of these active and passive recreational facilities needs to reflect that we have an ageing population and ensure that they are able to participate.
Our volunteer sporting groups and associations need to be supported. Collaborating with neighbouring councils and educational institutions on sports amenities will enable us to better meet the needs of existing and emerging sports.
We need to create beautiful open spaces and streetscapes that are modern, clean and sensitive to both the built and natural environment; that allow people to come together and connect.
