2 separate fields used mainly for football with a small car park in between including a public run down toilet and clubhouse. Free Street parking available, walking/cycling track circumnavigatesthe field, adequate lighting however fields are run down and council needs to act to upgrade/replace.

Hidden away behind the busy Villawood streets is this beautiful massive park. Unfortunately on my last visit it was littered with rubbish and broken glass. The kids playground was also a hazard zone. There are plenty of bins and very nice bench seats and tables. Plenty of street parking which isn't the best because surrounding streets are narrow and busy. Its a great contrast from the tight populated streets of Villawood. Its hidden away and quiet. Its good for a break of fresh air.

I played cricket here and for a synthetic pitch wicket the grass, boundaries and field overall was great and I'd love to play on more grounds that look like that in winter comp.

(No personal details given) So the park would be nice and safe to visit but with a hoarder dropping his fecal matter, bodily waste, dead animals, other refuse garbage and suspicious misc All you need to do is watch out for sharpies(needles), broken and contaminated materials that scatter the park. In advance if you wanna be sick and potentially risk your health go visit the park (Bankstown city of progress...prove your moto CLEAN UP THIS BIO HAZARD RISK)
