Drop-In at The Shack

Young people who visit The Shack during Drop-In are welcome to use the youth centre's pool table, foosball, table tennis, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, board games, sports gear, and comfy couches to chill on in the open planned drop-in area. The centre also has a fully equipped kitchen, computers, and a workshop room where programs are often hosted. The cool urban art on the walls of The Shack makes for a perfect background for selfies! There is a basketball court, skate park and oval nearby for the outdoor or sport-loving young person.
