The Julia Reserve youth precinct in Oran Park, is made up of a state-of-the-art skate park, basketball courts, parkour training area and youth and community centre. The precinct provides holistic support through the co-location of multiple youth services and agencies. Services and programs include afterschool drop-in programs, art classes and cultural events, employment services, case management and school holiday programs.
Young people were consulted on the design of the precinct as well as having ongoing input into the programs and activities. All services located at the centre undergo a detailed induction process to ensure a consistent and safe approach to supporting the children and young people who use the centre.
Camden Council has developed a youth strategy with local young people that outlines the priorities for the precinct and its services and programs. Julia Reserve provides a welcoming and safe environment where young people can have fun and receive wrap around support.
