Really nice big oval that’s really well maintained. Great to bring the dog to and allow off the lead to run around. Also good to come and play whatever sport tickles your fancy such as Footy soccer cricket, or even to run a few laps. Great oval will come back again for sure . Includes amenities, soccer goals, undercover areas, plenty of parking and as well lit. 🐶 🐾 ♥️ 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️
