Council is committed to improving our sports fields to support local clubs, community use, and future demand. As part of this commitment, we are upgrading Allard Park Oval.
Allard Park is home to the North Brunswick Football Club, Brunswick Cricket Club, and the Brunswick Ultimate Disc Society. In 2024 we spoke to the community about the introduction of sports field lighting; this has since been completed and the North Brunswick Football Club will be using these for their upcoming winter season.
The upgrades aim to provide a safe well drained and irrigated ground, reducing safety concerns and making sports grounds more accessible to the broader community.
What does the upgrade involve?
- Improve and resurface the playing field for better drainage, consistency, and playability, with a slight adjustment to its shape
- Install automated irrigation system
- Install subsurface drainage
- Install a rootzone sand profile with a
drainage profile
- Replace with new AFL football goals
- Install a new natural turf 5-wicket

- Install two new coach boxes and one
umpire enclosure
- Install 5 new outdoor seats around the outside
of the ground
- Grass the surface with Santa Ana couch
- Remove and replace fence along Donald Street.
