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, PS4, Xbox 360, 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.
