We played a D1 game here recently and had a very disappointing experience.
During the game, the opposing players repeatedly made aggressive contact and pushed our teammates to the ground several times. There were no fouls called, and some players even taunted us after the contact. At one point, we clearly heard the word “monkey” directed toward our team.
When we raised concerns about the officiating, the response we received was not professional. One female referee made a dismissive hand gesture and pointed at us in a disrespectful manner. Meanwhile, minor physical contact from our side was immediately called as fouls.
Instead of addressing the situation or reviewing what happened, we were asked to leave the court despite having paid to participate. We simply questioned what we felt was unfair treatment.
As paying players, we expected basic fairness and respectful officiating. This experience was upsetting, and we hope the venue reviews referee conduct, ensures proper oversight, and creates a fair and respectful environment for all participants.

Great staff. Unfortunately the government needs to put its hands in its pockets and fix this venue which it's not. Not enough seating, no proper working bubblers and no adequate ventilation or fan in the ceiling to name just a few problems. The venue gets so much use that it's hard to get spaces booked yet no funding seems to filter into the hugely popular space. Shame on the inner west council neglecting this centre.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the amazing staff at PCYC Marrickville for their support and kindness in helping me retrieve my stolen phone. From the moment I reached out, the team was responsive, understanding, and genuinely cared about helping me resolve the situation.
Their professionalism and willingness to assist went above and beyond, and I’m incredibly grateful for how they handled everything with calmness and respect. It’s rare to come across a community space where people truly look out for one another, and that’s exactly what I found at PCYC Marrickville.
Thank you again for your help — it meant so much! 🙏🏾😊

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the team at PCYC for their amazing support recently. I had lost my Samsung earbuds and came back searching for them over two days. Marvin, Jack , and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist me. Everyone here has been so genuine, kind, and supportive — not just to me, but clearly to all who walk through the doors.
It’s rare to find a place where people truly care and are willing to help those in need without hesitation. I’m really grateful for the way I was treated and just want to give a heartfelt thank you to the whole team. You made a stressful situation so much easier, and it really shows the kind of values this place is built on.
Thank you again — keep up the amazing work!

Facilities are ok, no AC in the stadium which can get really hot in summer. Sadly no fans either which would make a massive difference. Snack bar has the essentials.
Playing surface albeit worn is not dusty and good for grip.
