Repurposing of Sports Ground in Aspendale Gardens
City of Kingston is removing the passive-recreation Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground and developing it into soccer grounds for the Aspendale Stingrays Soccer Club.
Resident feedback has strongly indicated a preference for modest facilities without overdevelopment.
The project has been split into two stages with Stage 1 works to begin in November 2019 to create the sporting fields and provide car parking, with the aim of commencing games at the site from April 2020.
Car Parking
Features of the proposed new car park design include:
- Over 100 car parking bays, including disabled car parking bays
- Car park lighting
- Access and exiting from Kerr Crescent
- Timed access via automatic gate/retractable bollards
- Landscaping.
