Olds Park

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (20:09:36):

I am pleased to update the House and extend my excitement as the upgrades to Field 2 at Olds Park are now complete. Thanks to a $500,000 contribution from the New South Wales Government, this $825,000 upgrade means that our Australian Football League stars, Penshurst West Cricket Club, and Little Athletics along with recreational users will now have access to a state‑of‑the‑art field. A few years ago Olds Park looked like a desert. The surface was uneven, the grass was unable to grow and it was obviously affecting game play. In 2019 I made a promise to the St George community along with Penshurst Panthers, Penshurst West Cricket Club and Little Athletics that I would upgrade this ground as part of my election commitments and we have done just that. The newly updated field is now open and ready for action, much to the delight of players and spectators alike. I look forward to seeing the Penshurst West Cricket Club, Little Athletics and Penshurst Panthers enjoying this very new field as the season fast approaches.
