SUCCESS: NEW COMMUNITY CENTRE APPROVED FOR GREENWAY PARK.
Through the combined effort of all the local sporting groups that use Greenway Park (AFL, Baseball, Cricket, Little A’s and Rugby League), Julian Leeser (our Federal Member) announced $2.7m in funding. This includes $1.6m for a Community Club House facility to be built on the grass bank between Greenway Park 1 and 2 Ovals and $1.1m upgrade to the Ovals.
Club House
The Clubhouse will be a large facility with a veranda on both sides of the building, open community space and meeting rooms, air conditioning, large TV, undercover storage for gear and a display area for Trophies and Awards. Players and supporters will be able to sit on the veranda and watch the games.
Oval upgrade
The Oval upgrade will see Greenway Park widened, seating installed on the Hill and we are also looking at specific improvements to the cricket facilities. These include:
· Nets being rebuilt as they would need to be demolished as part of the ground widening
· Our ‘wish’ includes a turf wicket, electronic scoreboard and lighting sufficient to use the nets at night
We are also meeting with CNSW to see what additional support they can provide to help make Greenway Park into one of the best cricket facilities in North West Sydney.
