A Multisport Home Ground
Clever design ensures that the fields can easily be adapted from rugby union to rugby league, football, cricket and softball. New, gender-neutral changing rooms mean we can cater for women’s tournaments, and the planned softball teenage competition will be a welcome addition to after-school activities for our young people

Hybrid playing surface
We’ve chosen hybrid technology – a combination of natural and artificial grass - for our number one ground. This will maximise the turf’s performance and allow us to use it for multiple sports purposes. It also enhances the durability, usage time and ability to stand up under most weather conditions.
The artificial grass has two important roles: it protects the natural grass and its growth, and it supports the pitch’s stability. |
