Jubilee Park Stadium: A New Era of Healthy Eating at Frankston’s Sporting Hub

Jubilee Park Stadium (JPS) is a newly developed sporting hub within Frankston, offering a variety of sporting opportunities including netball, cricket, volleyball and basketball. Beyond the courts, Frankston District Netball Association (FDNA) have been reviewing the range of food, snacks and drinks they have available for purchase in their cafe. Thanks to their participation in the Vic Kids Eat Well (VKEW) initiative, they now have a variety of options which are both enjoyable, and satisfy the dietary, hunger and energy needs of their community.

The cafe now features a selection of nutritious food and drink by working on the VKEW actions of ‘refresh the fridge’, ‘switch to healthier snacks’ and ‘boost veggies and salad’.

These new offerings include:

  • Fresh fruit and muesli cups
  • Variety of wraps and sandwiches
  • Yoghurt
  • Sushi
  • Dips, crackers and cheese
  • Flavoured milks
  • Water varieties

FDNA have already achieved a variety of the VKEW actions, in which they were then able to claim a ‘reward’ for each action they completed. Moving forward their focus will remain on working through more actions to continue building on cafe offerings.

FDNA are also continuing to listen to the community by seeking feedback via a QR code survey. This helps to make sure that cafe offerings meet their community’s preferences and dietary needs, while providing an opportunity for new suggestions to be made.

“I love that they now have fresh healthy options and Gluten Free and Vegetarian Options,” says a cafe customer.

If your club or association would like support to work through the VKEW initiative within your canteen or kiosk, please get in touch with Peninsula Health’s Health Promotion team at healthpromotion@phcn.vic.gov.au
