Seeding grassroots for ‘The Green’ at Parramatta North

The NSW Government has officially opened ‘The Green’ at Parramatta North, a revitalised 8,000 square metre community sportsground.

The Green, first established in 1879, has been brought back to life as part of the revitalisation of Parramatta North.

In collaboration with partners, City of Parramatta Council and the Office of Sport, The Green has accessible amenities, a rejuvenated turf playing surface, new temporary changeroom facilities and sustainable LED lighting.

“The Green at North Parramatta is an excellent new community sportsground providing a space to nurture the talented athletes of today and for generations to come,” said Lord Mayor of City of Parramatta, Sameer Pandey (pictured).

“This sportsground is a terrific addition for our thriving population and for grassroots sports which is so essential in encouraging health, wellness and a sense of community in our great city.”

Minister for Lands and Property and Minister for Sport, Steve Kamper said The Green at Parramatta North was a wonderful outcome for the community, and a new open space for sports organisations to run their programs and activities.

“Between Parramatta Powerhouse, Parramatta Aquatic Centre and now ‘The Green’. The community offerings for Parramatta just keep getting better and better,” he said.

“I look forward to seeing our future Parramatta sports stars get their start at this fantastic new community sportsground.”
