Here is a list of recreational items going into the upgraded detention centre in NT.

Furniture, Fittings and Equipment
109. A range of equipment will be purchased to increase and improve amenities for
detainees. Items may include:
• televisions
• dvd players
• sound systems, karaoke systems
• table tennis tables
• gym equipment
• pool tables
• play stations
• soccer and cricket sets
• tables and chairs for recreation facilities
• couches, and
• office furniture.

There will also be disabled facilities, although considering most of the detainees at the NT centre are fishermen and crews, one would wonder how many disabled detainees there will be.

This information comes from this report which you might find interesting.

Seems a lot different to Gitmo to me.
