Seasonal sports ground allocations
Learn more about registering your interest for a seasonal allocation and more.
Our sportsgrounds and facilities are available for use by local sporting organisations on a seasonal allocation.
Seasonal hire agreements are given to a limited number of sporting organisations. This helps support all park users to enjoy these spaces and keep the grounds healthy.
All allocations are subject to our Sportsgrounds and Facilities Allocation Policy [ PDF, 84.37 KB]
