A high-tech sports locker has been installed at the Northern Beaches Community Hub, to give access to popular sports equipment.
The SportsBox lockers allow the free borrowing of a basketball, futsal ball or netball, which can be used on the indoor sports court.
Users simply need to download the SportsBox app and create an account. There are no sign-up fees or ongoing cost to borrowers.
Equipment in the smart lockers is free to use, but a credit or debit card must be added to accounts for instances where balls aren’t returned.
Since it was installed on Friday (December 19), there's already been hours of usage of the available equipment.
For more information about how to use the lockers use your favourite search engine to find SportsBox equipped by Decathlon.
The newly installed SportsBox means you don't need to have your own gear to use the facilities at the Northern Beaches Community Hub.
