Home to several clubs including Ringwood Cricket Club, Ringwood Croquet Club, Ringwood Football Club, Ringwood Tennis Club and Ringwood City Soccer Club, Jubilee Park is one of the most popular sports precincts in Ringwood.
Once complete the transformed R.O. Spencer pavilion will feature female friendly player change rooms and amenities, providing a place for clubs to host training and local competition.
The Victorian Government has invested $2 million into the Jubilee Park pavilion project from the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund. It’s expected to be complete by July.
Home to the Ringwood Saints Baseball Club, Proclamation Park is also a local cricket hub with the Ringwood Cricket Club and Heathmont Cricket Club calling the facility home.
The new pavilion will bring sports at the ground under the one roof, providing female friendly facilities for the growing numbers keen to join local clubs based at the park.
The Government has invested $100,000 into the project through the Government’s $13.5 million Community Cricket Program. This project is also supported by a significant contribution from City of Maroondah, along with $20,000 from Cricket Victoria through the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund. It is expected to be complete by March 2022.
