Sports lovers in Perth have a new reason to get active this summer, with a free multi-use sports court opening in the heart of the city. Brookfield Place has launched its Summer of Sports, transforming its Main Square into a vibrant hub where locals and visitors can enjoy 3×3 basketball and pickleball-two of the fastest-growing sports in the world.

Running from 27 January to 28 March, this pop-up activation provides a fun and social way to stay active in the city. The court is free to use, making it a great opportunity for players of all skill levels to shoot some hoops or try their hand at pickleball-a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong.

Get Active in the City

Whether you're looking for a lunchtime workout, a friendly match with colleagues, or just a chance to try something new, the Brookfield Place sports court has you covered. 3×3 basketball is a fast-paced, high-energy version of the classic game, perfect for quick matches that get the heart pumping. Meanwhile, pickleball is easy to learn and great for social play, making it a fantastic option for beginners and experienced players alike.

How to Get Involved

To secure your spot on the court, bookings are essential and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Head to bfplperth.com to reserve a session and make the most of this exciting activation.

After working up a sweat, players can cool down and refuel at one of the many bars and eateries around Brookfield Place, including The Heritage Wine Bar, Print Hall, Bar Lafayette, Papi Katsu, and the newly opened Lupe Cerveceria.

Details:

📍 Where: Main Square, Brookfield Place, 125 St Georges Terrace, Perth
