Georges River Council has marked the commencement of the Riverwood Park Sporting Field Renewal Project with a sod-turning ceremony.
The ceremony signals an exciting step forward in delivering Council's Open Space Renewal – Turf Sporting Field Renewal Program.
The project will improve the quality, safety and capacity of the existing fields through:
-
Installation of a new irrigation system.
-
Installation of sports field drainage system.
-
Upgraded sports field lighting.
-
New cricket pitches.
-
Turf resurfacing.
These upgrades will support increased participation, improve playing conditions, and enhance the overall user experience for the local community.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said, "Riverwood Park is a well‑loved hub for local sport and community life.
"It is home to local rugby league, rugby union, and cricket clubs. It's also a place where schools gather for sport programs and carnivals.
"This project will deliver safer, higher‑quality fields that encourage participation and ensure the park remains an enjoyable space for everyone."
Site investigations, including geotechnical tests, are scheduled to commence in early February to inform the detailed design process. Construction is anticipated to begin following approval of the detailed design.
