The AFL program will return to Arden St on Monday, February 5 after the two-month oval resurfacing project was officially completed this week.

In 2023, the club identified the resurfacing of Arden Street Oval as a high priority, as it continues to build the foundations in a pursuit for silverware.

The works, which began in December, saw the oval completely resurfaced, a watering system upgrade installed, synthetic turf installed at the race and interchange benches, and other works to deliver an elite surface for the club’s four football programs.

The resurfacing project was made possible thanks to a group of generous donors:

Andrew Harris
Ann Sprague
Anthony Pante
Bev Jennings
Brady Scanlon
Cade Brown
Chris McGrath
David Wright
Don & Brian Calleja
Drew Fairchild
Eugene Arocca
Fulvio Inserra
Glenn Allison
Glenn Borin
Gordon Hoen
Grant Rowlands
Ian Solomon
Jeff Simmelmann

Michael Clemenger
Michael Tobin
Nicole Keleher
Owen Johnson

With the AFL program back to regular programming, members and fans are reminded of their ability to come down to watch mid-week training sessions. Training times can be found here.

Temporary fencing

Temporary fencing will remain around the Arden Street Oval until mid-March to best ensure the surface settles after major resurfacing works.
