Queens Park playing fields
Queens Park has been the home ground for Waverley College since 1937, when levelling and preliminary work was commenced by volunteer parents ‘to convert what was a rough gully into a fine sweep of playing fields’. The College leases the facility from the Centennial and Moore Park Trust and the field is available for public use outside of scheduled school events.
Facilities at Queens Park cater mostly for the school’s participation in rugby, cricket and football (soccer), although a range of other sporting and cadet activities are also held there.
The Queens Park playing fields incorporate the Tom and Midge Hayes Pavilion, which houses a grand stand, function room, change rooms and canteen. The Pavilion was built by the College and opened in 1962.
