Fairview Sports Center, situated in Willow Road, Fairview Gqerbha.
The establishment of the Port Elizabeth Land and Community Restoration Association (PELCRA) in October 1993 gave impetus to a proactive approach to land restitution in Port Elizabeth. PELCRA sought the assistance of the Legal Resources Centre and the Urban Services Group and together they investigated a development-directed solution to settle land claims in Port Elizabeth, a solution that could also be used in other urban areas in or country.
The Fairview Sports Trust was established by the Port Elizabeth Land Restitution and Housing Association (PELRHA), to own and manage the Fairview Sports Centre in perpetuity.
The Fairview Sports Centre in Willow Road was launched on 21 November 2016 as an initiative of PELCRA as part of its mandate to help establish a good quality neighbourhood with facilities for families returning to the Fairview area. The funds for the project came from the sale of a strip of land which had formed part of their restitution claim to the government.
