Seasonal Use of Prendwick Reserve Expression of Interest
The City of Canning is excited to invite eligible sporting clubs to submit Expressions of Interest for summer or winter tenancy at the Prendwick Park Pavilion and Changerooms, located at Prendwick Way, Willetton WA 6155. We also welcome EOIs from clubs seeking year-round use, with a 12-month tenancy option.
Owned by the City, Prendwick Park is designated for parks and recreational purposes, and we are thrilled to offer this prime location to sporting clubs. With no current seasonal tenants, this is a fantastic opportunity to establish your club’s presence in a dynamic and welcoming community space.
We offer two flexible tenancy options:
- Summer Tenancy: October to March
- Winter Tenancy: April to September
Each tenancy includes access to the pavilion, fields, and social spaces, all at competitive pricing tailored to the needs of clubs.
We encourage you to imagine Prendwick Park as your club's home base. Whether you choose a summer tenancy, a winter tenancy, or both, this venue offers the opportunity for year-round programming, fostering community, building camaraderie, and creating a space where your club can truly thrive. It’s more than just a venue — it’s a foundation for your club’s growth and success.
While the park is currently set up for AFL and cricket, we are open to accommodating other sports such as soccer or any other codes, so feel free to reach out with any specific requirements.
Prendwick Park has recently undergone significant renovations, offering modern facilities, including:
- two gender-neutral changerooms
