Reserve History
In early 2026 cricket got a major upgrade, with new enclosed cricket nets open and ready for action! Built to meet Cricket Australia's Community Cricket Facility Guidelines, making it a first-class space for players of all levels.
The cricket nets are available day and night, with bright LED lighting making it easy to fit in a training session whenever it suits you. Featuring four enclosed training lanes, the facility is ideal for individual practice, team sessions or a casual hit with mates. The nets are available daily from 9am-9pm, giving plenty of opportunities to spend time with bat and ball. *Booking fees apply, view links on this page to booking site.
