Mallacoota's Lions Park Recreation Reserve is getting a new fit-for-purpose cricket training facility. The facility will comprise a synthetic turf practice pitch, which includes junior format markings, making it suitable for training, warm-ups and general public use by all age groups.
A retractable net system will provide flexibility at the multi-use site, reduce visual obstruction and improve on-field safety by reducing the likelihood of a collision with fixed infrastructure.
An open-practice area has been incorporated into the design to provide opportunity and a safe space for young children to play and practice.
Power will be provided at the site for a bowling machine with provision for future lighting.
The design of the facility complies with Cricket Australia's community facilities guidelines.
The funding secured for the design and construction of this facility is through a combination of Cricket Australia and Council.

Works on the new Mallacoota cricket nets are now complete.
The synthetic wicket, fencing, and soft netting, are now complete, and the contractor has installed a 240v power service for the club’s bowling machine.
The new cricket nets will be handed over to the Cricket Club once seed is established.
The aim of this project was to design and construct a new ‘fit for purpose’ cricket training facility at the Mallacoota Lions Park Recreation Reserve. The new facility is comprised of a synthetic turf practice pitch which includes junior format markings making it suitable for training, warm-ups, and general public use (all age groups).
A retractable net system will provide flexibility at the multi-use site, reduce visual obstruction, and improve on-field safety by reducing the likelihood of collisions with fixed infrastructure. An open-practice area has been incorporated into the design to provide the opportunity for young children to play and practice.
The design of the facility complies with Cricket Australia Community Facilities Guidelines.
