But 11,000 reasons to look forward to summer

After such a busy winter season, our sports fields required a bit of R&R. You will notice our fields have taken a well-rested break with new turf laid - 11,000 sqm of new turf, to be exact.

Every year over $1 million is invested into maintaining sports fields which includes the annual sports field renovation program.

This summer - come play!

This summer is an exciting time with three of our fields in Moore Park West returning to the community after being offline for Light Rail works.
