Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi Sports Facilities

Consultation has concluded

We are currently seeking Registrations of Interest (ROI) from sporting organisations and educational institutions for the use of Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi Sports facilities during the 2019 Summer season (1 October 2019 – 31 March 2020).

Project Updates

For the 2019/20 summer program we approved seven (7) hire agreements.

For the 2019 winter program (April to end of September) we approved eight hire agreements and one seasonal licence across the facilities in the park as a result of the consultation. These were mainly cycling groups, Pedal Prix, two school programs and South Australia Cricket Association (SACA), and we also had a new soccer club use the facilities for the first time.

The summer season (October to end of March) has led to two applications, still to be assessed – SACA and the Pashtun Association of SA, so both cricket related. The cycling clubs, soccer club and one school will continue to utilise the facilities over the summer.


Please see the Application pack for details of the facilities that are available, including location and costs of hire. The pack also contains the Registration of Interest Form that will need to be completed and returned to us.

Hire agreements will be available for ten or twenty weeks/games commencing in October 2019.

Registrations will close on 19 August 2019 with allocations confirmed in September 2019.

Background

A strategic aim of the City of Adelaide is to enhance the role of the Park Lands in increasing levels of physical activity and wellbeing through formal and informal sport and recreation opportunities.

To support this aim a Master Plan for the usage of Victoria Park was developed and adopted in 2008 with the vision to ‘create a vibrant, flexible and sustainable recreational open space within the iconic Adelaide Park Lands to serve all South Australians, supporting a variety of community activities whilst preserving the unique landscape and heritage qualities of the place.’

The Master Plan included an extension to the Criterium track, the creation of the Premium Sports Field to facilitate a variety of events from Adelaide 500 and 3-day Horse event to sporting matches and carnivals and the creation of a series of sports fields to the south of the park. These facilities are now complete and available for use.

In April 2017 Council endorsed the construction of a new change room and public toilet facility to support the use of the Victoria Park southern sports facilities. The new facility is now in the final stages of completion.

    The Master Plan included the creation of a series of sports fields to the south of the park. These facilities, which are available for hire on a seasonal basis, have previously been licenced as an AFL oval and soccer pitches in winter and cricket pitches in summer. In April 2017 Council endorsed the construction of a new change room and public toilet facility to support activation of the southern fields. As of 1 July 2018, the new facility is in the final stages of completion.
