No, it's not a club, its an actual area, I think youth recreation area would be closer. I've now left it as "Tienersite" and explained it in brackets

Reference: tienersite

Reference information:
The specific use/meaning of 'tienersite' in your source text seems to be typically Belgian Dutch. See also the example below.
In the Netherlands, 'tienersite' would normally speaking refer to a website for teenagers :-)

Ten laatste begin volgend jaar start de stad met de aanleg van een tienersite in het parkgebied van het Wooncentrum Sint-Jozef, op de hoek van de Parklaan en de Sint-Arnolduslaan in Sint-Michiels. De buurtbewoners zijn er niet gerust in.
Gepland zijn een trapveld met twee doelen en ballenvangers, een centraal ruimtenet en een verharde speeloppervlakte. In een later stadium komen er onder meer ook kleine toestellen voor skaters, een glijbaan, een kabelbaan en een skiswing.
