Free sports clinics, food and coffee trucks, face painting and indoor games will be held to officially open Warragul's new stadium on Sunday.
The ribbon cutting and formalities will be held at 2.30pm, with local residents able to visit the new two-court stadium at the Warragul Leisure Centre during celebrations running from 10am to 4pm.
Baw Baw Shire said the stadium expansion, valued at more than $12.8 million, was one of its largest ever recreational projects.
Council committed $6.8 million for the stadium, with the state government contributing $6 million via its community sports infrastructure stimulus program.
Featuring two new indoor basketball/netball courts, spectator seating and new cafe, Baw Baw Shire mayor Annemarie McCabe said she was thrilled to see the new stadium in use in recent weeks and invited the wider community to come along to check it out and be part of the official opening festivities.
With site works commencing in January 2023, Cr McCabe said "this major project has been long-awaited by our community."
"I am proud that between council and the state government, we can provide these new, modern facilities, furthering opportunities for our local kids and families to take part in sport and get active, close to home," she said.
Local basketballers were the first to hit the courts for a 3x Cup tournament on July 8, with a Deadly Hoops basketball game following as part of NAIDOC Week on July 12.
Regular basketball and netball fixtures were played at the courts last week.
However, Sunday's official opening will be the first chance for the wider community to gain full access to the stadium.
Youngsters can participate in basketball and netball clinics during the morning as well as other family-friendly activities.
Linked to the existing two-court stadium, the new facility also boasts a first aid room, changerooms - including a Changing Places assessible changeroom for people with a disability, multi-purpose rooms, storage facilities and new carpark off Wills St.
