If all goes to plan, the arena will accommodate action cricket, netball, hockey and soccer, with the potential to host local and provincial leagues.



The North Coast’s first Action Sports arena is on the cards for Sugar Rush Park, with the project awaiting final planning approvals.



Currently in the design phase, the 1 400m² indoor sports facility is a partnership between Action Sports South Africa (ASSA), Sugar Rush Park and Fanwish, which holds the rights to Action Sports Ballito.



“Action Sports is thrilled to bring premier participation opportunities to the North Coast, where demand is growing rapidly,” said ASSA head of group operations Danielle Busschau.

Sugar Rush Park owner Nic Jordan believes the venue will be a good fit for the area.



“We are proud to expand our lifestyle offering alongside a trusted national brand like Action Sports South Africa,” he said.

Fanwish director Peter Hooper is encouraging residents to complete a 60-second survey, accessible via the accompanying QR code, to help shape the facility.



“To ensure the facility meets local demand, from court quantities and sport offerings to sports bar amenities, our community’s feedback is essential,” he said.



The team hopes to begin construction in 2027, subject to approvals.
