We've completed important upgrades at Patrick Croke Oval in Kincumber to support local sport, recreation and community use.

Works were completed in March 2025, ahead of the winter sports season.

The project included:

• upgrades to the amenities building, including a refurbished canteen and renovated bathrooms
• installation of new LED sports lighting on Field 2.

These upgrades create a more welcoming and functional space for players, spectators and community groups. The new lighting also allows for greater use during shorter daylight hours, making it easier for sporting clubs, dog training groups and the broader community to safely use the oval in the evenings.

The project was delivered by Central Coast Council and funded through a $210,000 grant from the Australian Government’s Investing in Our Communities Program and a $30,000 contribution from Central Coast Football. 

Project benefits:

• Safer, more welcoming facilities.
• Extended hours of use for evening sport and training.
• Increased opportunities for community connection and physical activity.
