• social facility, with kitchen/bar,
• change rooms for males, females and umpires,
• accessible toilets

• community participation at events ensures the strength and viability of sporting clubs whilst giving back to the community through providing a sense of belonging to individuals of all ages.
• encouraging participation in a range of sporting activities ensures young people stay engaged in the community and avoid the many risks facing young people in today’s society through social media and substance abuse.
