Top suburban style cricket and AFL ground. Good food options. Close to neighborhood restaurants and pubs. Was a beautiful winters day when we were there. Easy free parking nearby. The food options looked good inside the ground. We enjoyed the fresh cooked donut balls

Poor food availability and poorly trained staff. The venue has gone over the top with boutique ‘food truck’ offerings. Sure, it’s nice to have that choice if you want it and don’t care much for the game, but without anywhere pushing out standard footy fare at pace you can’t get food without queueing/waiting more than half a quarter for it. Decided to get McDonalds and asked on the way out if I could bring it back and was told yes, only to be told I couldn’t bring it in on the way back. Wouldn’t come here unless my team was playing, and won’t be disappointed if it’s not for a few years.

Beautiful stadium, parking could be an issue if there's a major event. Have to plan accordingly.

I went and watched the PM XI match vs Pakistan. A great venue where you feel really close to the action extremely comfortable and easy to access. Good arrangement of food and Beverage options available too. I'm looking forward to coming back and watching more sport here.
