Football and cricket ovals for public use
Find details for public football and cricket ovals in the City of Whittlesea.
We have a number of public football and cricket ovals that you can use for free.
On several evenings and weekends during winter and summer, ovals are booked out by local sports clubs, so public access may be limited during those times.
