The Tamworth Regional Youth Centre has been closed for the last few months due to the state government's COVID-19 restrictions and is set to reopen on Tuesday.
Veronica Filby, Tamworth Regional Council's youth services leader, is excited to welcome the community back, in line with COVIDSafe measures.
"We will stall have the usual activities available, such as computers, video games, and basketball but visitors will still need to stay 1.5 metres apart," she said.
"Visitors are required to sign in with their name and number, and before entering they will need to wash their hands.
"Our staff will be cleaning all surfaces regularly."

The centre is a haven for young people after school, but with COVIDSafe measures in place just 25 can be inside at any one time.
The Youthie's rooms will still be available for hire, but before a booking can be confirmed a COVIDSafe plan will need to be submitted along with an induction.
It will be open from midday until 7pm from Tuesday to Friday each week.
