Youth Entertainment Space (YES) – City of Gosnells
Lighting up community connection through colour, creativity, and safe after-dark activity
Project Overview
The City of Gosnells has transformed Sutherland Park into a vibrant Youth Entertainment Space (YES) designed in close collaboration with local young people. The all-weather precinct features an outdoor asphalt pump track, a split-level undercover skate park, a multipurpose sports zone, and a social hangout area with tiered seating.
To enable year-round use and enhance community engagement after dark, Austube Schréder delivered a dynamic lighting solution that blends performance, colour, and creativity—making the space safer, more inviting, and more connected to local events.
