Good reserve. Home of the Doonside junior rugby leagues club and also a cricket side. Playground for the kids. Toilets are only open when there are community sports on so be aware of that if taking the kids down. There’s also netball courts and people meet there to play some kind of “ice stock” game but without the ice. Carpark floods easily after rain.

A good sized reserve for AFL, cricket, netball. There's also a playground with older equipment.

Great reserve with multiple fields and a cricket pitch! Great for social soccer, football and cricket. Doesn't get too busy but generally there are lots of social games being played outside of competition hours
