Hi everyone,
Thank you again for supporting all-weather fields at Callan Park.
We’re entering a critical period as the football season begins. This is when awareness matters most.
Every weekend, thousands of players, families and volunteers rely on these fields. But too often, games are cancelled, seasons are shortened, kids miss out and senior teams are forced into punishing schedules to make up games.
That’s why your support matters, and why we need your help again.

Why people are supporting this
We’ve been further inspired by the stories from across the community:
“Thousands of kids, families and volunteers rely on these grounds, and regular washouts disrupt an already stretched community.” - Andrew D.
“It is always a shame to have a soccer game cancelled because of bad weather… all-weather fields will solve the problem.” - Matilda K.
“We need SAFE playing facilities to keep our great sporting community active and involved.” - Thea D.
“More frequent and extreme wet weather is to be expected and we need to plan for this.” - Jono M.
This is about supporting the sporting needs of our community
This isn’t about expanding sport in Callan Park ; it’s about making better use of the fields we already have.
· More reliable access
· Safer playing conditions
· More opportunities for girls, boys, women and men
· Stronger community connections
And importantly, it’s about ensuring local sport can keep up with growing demand, particularly as participation continues to rise across the Inner West, and with increased housing density planned for Bay West and right throughout the Inner West.
