Darley Park

Darley Park Recreation Reserve is located on Grey St, Darley and is the home of a number of sporting and community activities.

In 2023, the $5.1 million Darley Park Community and Sports Centre pavilion was completed which accommodates the increased demand and exponential growth and participation of the local community.

The pavilion includes:

Umpire change rooms that cater for diversity
Public amenities that address public safety and accessible entry requirements
First aid rooms
Storage
Commercial kitchen
A meeting room and social space, enhancing the development of community programs and containing technology to support learning and opportunities for improved collaboration
Female friendly change amenities

The centre removes barriers to female participation and usage by providing suitable facilities and amenities built to female friendly standards and that cater to AFL, netball and cricket. It provides a premium venue that makes the best use of its prominent and central location for the growing Darley community. This allows community to access large scale events within their neighbourhood.

The Darley Park Community and Sports Centre was delivered by Moorabool Shire Council, in partnership with the State Government and in collaboration with the Darley Football Netball Club.

Other facilities within the Darley Park reserve include playground, picnic, and BBQ facilities, BMX track, a native garden and pathways.
