Have a ball with Sportsbox

Noosa residents can now take a shot at a range of popular sports for free, thanks to SportsBox.

Pickleball sets, basketballs and netballs are available to hire from the blue SportsBox lockers located at Stan Topper Park in Pomona, Quamby Place Tennis and Pickleball court in Noosaville and Munna Park Basketball court in Noosa Heads.

Noosa Council Sport and Active Lifestyles Manager Brad Chalmers said using SportsBox was quick and easy.

“Using SportsBox is as simple as scanning the QR code on your smartphone,” Mr Chalmers said.

“Once you’ve scanned the code at one of the three SportsBox locations across Noosa, just download the app to unlock access to the equipment inside.

“When you’re finished with the gear, return the gear to the SportsBox, take a photo to confirm its return and you’re good to go.”

The State Government initiative is being trialled until 31 October this year as part of a broader effort to encourage more Queenslanders to be physically active and make the most of their local community spaces.
