The Central Coast Sports Hub on Pacific Highway in Gosford opened its new floodlit fields on 28 June 2026, allowing evening matches for the first time at the site.

World Cup matches playing out in July have driven fresh interest in local pitches and courts, with residents seeking places to play rather than just watch from home.

The Hub works directly with the Central Coast Academy program to run weekday drills, while the Erina Sports Complex on Terrigal Drive hosts Saturday netball competitions that fill eight courts each weekend.

Local venues in daily use

Both locations sit within a short drive of the North Gosford residential area, where many families now register children for after-school sessions that previously had waiting lists of several months.

Council data released last week recorded 1,850 bookings across these two venues in the first half of 2026, up from 1,320 in the same period of 2025.

Next steps for users

Residents can visit the Central Coast Council website to view current availability at the Hub and Erina complex or to sign up for maintenance volunteer shifts that begin in August.
