The Sports Hub in Alexandra Park is operated by Milnbank Housing Association (MHA) to provide facilities for the community. The building has undergone refurbishment to a high standard, offering public toilets, a café, a meeting room, and an outdoor seating area. Additionally, free Wi-Fi is available for users.
MHA's community anchor role has been instrumental in the development of Alexandra Park Sports Hub. The association has secured substantial funding to promote healthy lifestyles, sustainable and low-carbon initiatives, and capital projects such as a mountain bike track and a community growing project that includes polytunnel and raised bed facilities. The establishment of a Bike Hub within the Community Hub also aims to improve opportunities for participation, progression, and achievement in sports.
The Sports Hub has played a crucial role in bringing back into popular use the entire north side of the park, which was previously seldom used. The Sports Hub showcases a variety of sports and activities: putting green, football, archery, outdoor play kit, volleyball, basketball, cycling, Health Walks, T'ai Chi, fitness classes and digital learning groups. During school holidays, The Sports Hub delivers holiday programs by coaches from partnership agencies with a broad range of sports and activities!
Overall, the Sports Hub is a valuable resource for the community, offering facilities that make a significant difference in how Alexandra Park is used. Through their initiatives, MHA aims to promote healthy lifestyles, sustainable living, and physical activity to support the wellbeing and resilience of the community.
