We live in an area where Cricket is growing but facilities are limited.

There are limited cricket facilities in Yagoona. All other nets are heavily used in Sefton and Chester Hill.

There are 2 nets in Jim Ring Reserve Birrong near the clubhouse and one of them is broken.

There are 2 nets in Walshaw Park Chester hill. Both nets have half the cricket pitch which is not good for young cricketers to play on concrete.

There are 2 nets in Graf Park and the same issue both nets have half the cricket pitch which is not good for young cricketers to play on concrete.

Oniel Park has a cricket pitch in the middle of the ground but no nets are available and kids from Yagoona have to travel to Birrong or Chester Hills to play on the nets but they are heavily used and most of the time these nets are taken.

We call on the Mayor and Councillors of Canterbury Bankstown Council to allow new nets not just 2 but 3 or 4 nets at Oniel Park. We also call on the Mayor to approve floodlights for these nets as in winter the sun goes down at 4:45 PM and kids can not do any practice on school days during winter.

In the entire Canterbury Bankstown council area, there are not cricket nets with lights so players can practice after hours.

Please approve this as soon as possible and let the cricket players enjoy Oneil park Yagoona during these tough times.
