Packer Park cricket net upgrades

We’re upgrading the cricket training nets at Packer Park, Carnegie — to better meet the needs of our community and local cricket clubs.

We know offering our community ways to get outside, be active and stay fit and healthy is important for health, wellbeing and social connection, and helps to enhance their quality of life. 

That’s why we’re upgrading the facilities. What’s happening:

  • demolishing the existing three bay cricket training facility
  • constructing a new five bay cricket training facility
  • installing a multipurpose futsal goal and basketball ring at the northern end of the facility for recreational community use
  • relocating the golf practise facilities to the southern end of the cricket nets.

These upgrades require the removal of one tree which will be offset with additional tree plantings.

With increasing participation in cricket, particularly among juniors and women, these upgrades will provide a modern, safe, and accessible training space.

These upgrades are part of our commitment to improving access, quality and safety at our recreation facilities. It also aligns with our commitment to upgrading infrastructure that supports gender equitable access and participation by women and girls in community sport, in line with our Fair Access Policy.  

Works have now commenced, and weather permitting are due to be completed in December.
