Looking after your field

Each year, the City spends more than $3.5 million maintaining the various sports fields for clubs to use. This includes reticulation, mowing, fertilising, top dressing and a number of other practices which the City’s Parks and Environment team undertake to keep fields in the best condition possible. There are also a number of things that sporting clubs can do to help keep the fields in top condition over the course of your season, including:

  • Moving training around the fields – in particular, try not to train in goal mouths as they are high wearing spots on the fields.
  • Setting up a sacrificial training area off the main playing pitches.
  • Doing high intensity training, such as agility drills off the main playing pitch and not in central areas.
  • Do not use any sort of herbicide in your line marking. Besides being in contravention of your hire conditions, it often takes years for the grass to recover – not only in the lines themselves but in other areas where herbicide may be spilt. Refer to Section 8 Conditions of Hire – Active Reserves.

Pre-season training

During the ground maintenance period in between seasons, various passive parks may be booked for pre-season training free of charge. Fees apply to all other pre-season training bookings of sports grounds. 

Public liability insurance

Clubs must have public liability insurance to be eligible to hire the City's sports grounds.Â
