What people say
Massive AFL field for dogs to play fetch, kids play area, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Highly safe and beautiful area for these activities 😁
Great large reserve providing lots of green space for the neighbourhood. The water quality of the lake, however, is of great concern.
Not a bad looking AFL ground...local team has tasty food at the canteen on game days
Old school footy oval with modern amenities and large car park. Only issue was flying insects everywhere! The oval is set in a large housing development which is quite natural in the way it incorporates natural features including existing waterways and large trees. Tuckshop did not sell pies, but had a sausage sizzle on the day we were there.
