New Park In Adelaide To Feature Three Ovals As NRL Continues To Pick Up Steam

South Australia's rugby league clubs will "soon have purpose-built facilities" with a National Rugby League-standard pitch, according to Nathan Stitt of ABC NEWS. In a state where Australian Rules football "dominates public attention," the rugby clubs said that the A$5.5M ($4M) development at Penfield will "support the grassroots development of their code." Central Districts Rugby League President Adam Levy said that modern facilities would "help attract more local families to the sport." He said, "Our committee over the last five years has been putting in the hard yards to support the community and now the community is supporting us back." The eight-hectare park in northern Adelaide will have three ovals suited to cricket, football and rugby. Work is expected to be completed during '17 (ABC NEWS, 12/19).
