Waterworth Park

Nice open park, with cricket grounds and some toilets right at the back. There is plenty of parking, on the road and inside. No shaded spots or seating, so you have to take chairs, umbrellas, etc, as it gets very hot. Okish park, good fields and plenty of space for matches.

Well maintained fields, the grass is nice. The fields are flat, no holes in the ground, nice firm ground. There are public restrooms available. There is also a small parking lot available , otherwise there is street parking or a carpark on the other side of the road.

Walked around here today. There are toilets, bbq area, picnic tables, sports fields, Velodrome and Two Valley trail. HISTORY The site was property of Fredrick Wright Unwin. He built a country mansion " Wanstead" by 1837 he also built a bridge across Cooks River and a road to his property and the settlements beyond. The road known as " Unwind Bridge Road ". The original reserve was proclaimed in 1911 and was known as Wolli Park. It was then converted to a rubbish tip in 1955. The park was reestablished here in 1960's it was named after Alderman Ashton Waterworth who served on the Canterbury council from 1928 to 1934. The Velodrome and football stadium were opened in 1982.

Played few cricket games here. The outfield is great but the pitch is too narrow. It doesn't meet the standards. The run up from apartments end is bad. Its like running up and down a hill. Parking is ample. The facilities are fine.

My grandson Harlan's touch games are played there every sunday mornings
