The Albany Lakes Summer Series is an established fixture in Albany’s annual sporting calendar, and for the past four years Westfield Albany has been an active supporter of the program.
The Summer Lakes Series is targeted towards families and their wellbeing, with a series of races that allow participants to choose their own level.
In addition to being able to run or walk and race with and without children, the series of races culminate with a unique opportunity to run on the playing surface of the stadium adjacent to Westfield Albany and also make a dash through the centre itself.
The centre’s Civic Plaza is integrated with Albany Lakes Civic Park, a place intended to become key public space in the heart of Albany, incorporating two large lakes, a bridge and an outdoor events stage. Westfield Albany worked with the local council to ensure the development of the shopping centre integrated with the proposed Albany Lakes Civic Park, by placing the restaurants and cafes on an axis that faced the Lakes creating an appealing community precinct.
Westfield Albany also encourages its own staff and those from Scentre Group offices and other Westfield centres to take part in the big day with discounted entry and training to employees of the Group.
