Amazing AG pitch in the middle of urban Sydney. Parking can be frustrating, as you can imagine. Historic grandstand looks impressive as you walk in the ground for your football, but if you're like me, your paying more attention to your Canteen souvlaki than where you are walking. They are very well known in the football community and are simply awesome. Always a good chat with the boys as they make them in front of you, but a word of warning, Bring your stretchy pants, your going to want more than one.🌯👖😁

Exceptional sporting facility in a very residential area. While there is limited (or congested) parking, the ground itself is fantastic for football. There is plenty of seating, both covered and uncovered. Adequate warming up space, as well as good canteen and change rooms. The sum of these facilities is an inviting suburban ground, which generates great atmosphere.

A lively local field. It has some real history. Many Socceroos have played here. The English team played an exhibition match here in the 1950s. In more recent times games turned into fights. Fortunately this is s thing of the past. The ground has some great historic features, especially the grandstand an change rooms. There are also two Norfolk Island pines standing tall on the hill.
