Fremantle PCYC
About Us
Formed in the early 1940's as the Fremantle Police Boys' Club, Fremantle PCYC has changed its premises three times since its inception. The new premises were officially opened at 32A Paget Street Hilton on the 14th of September 1975 by the Honourable K. E. Beazley MP.
Fremantle PCYC runs a vast array of sporting and recreational programs, joint initiatives and projects with schools and local community service groups in the area. Our aim is to offer youth an opportunity to develop self-reliance, independence and confidence in order to grow as courteous and considerate citizens.
The Fremantle PCYC has recently undergone major renovations jointly funded by the Australian Federal Government & the City of Fremantle.
Redevelopment works have included the relocation of toilets, improvements to the commercial kitchen, the development of an administration space, a multipurpose workshop, additional storage and an extension to the PCYC gymnasium.
