Planned improvements to the Doyle Ground sports facility are aligned with the Council’s Community Infrastructure Strategy.
This strategy has highlighted a significant shortfall in sporting open space into the future.
Given the limited opportunities to create new open space areas, the focus has shifted towards upgrading the standard of existing sporting facilities and diversifying the types of sports amenities available.
Proposed upgrade works are also identified in Council’s Heart of Play Master Plan as a key action item, and will improve the overall condition and carrying capacity of the sports fields.
Stage 1 works will be primarily funded through the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grant Program (formerly known as WestInvest), with a funding co-contribution from Council.
Stage 2 works will be wholly funded by Council.
The $2 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program (formerly known as WestInvest) is funding transformational infrastructure projects across Western Sydney.
Funded projects will improve the liveability of communities and support economic recovery, making a real difference to the quality of life in 15 Local Government Areas in the region.

Proposed works are in accordance with the Heart of Play (HOP) Master Plan adopted by Council in July 2021 (add link to masterplan). The HOP Master Plan provides a blueprint for an outdoor sporting and recreation network across seven open spaces in North Parramatta that make up the Heart of Play Network.
The master plan was developed over a 12-month period in consultation with the local community.
The final details of proposed works at Doyle Ground have been developed to ensure compliance with existing site conditions (including flood analysis), standards, and design guidelines of relevant sporting codes (including playing field sizes).
Council will maintain access to public toilets at Doyle Ground for the duration of the construction period. This will be provided through the existing building (prior to demolition) or temporary facilities.
Once constructed, the new sports pavilion building (undertaken as Stage 2 works) will include public toilets.
Lighting of the circuit path was identified as a key priority action from the community during the development of the Heart of Play Master Plan.
The solar path lighting is proposed to operate from 5am – 10pm daily (excluding daylight hours).
Due to limitations in funding, upgrades to carparking will not be part of Stage 1 upgrade works.
Subject to relevant traffic approvals, it is proposed the construction of disabled parking bays (converted from the existing parking provision) will be included in Stage 2 upgrade works.
Proposed works will be undertaken under a Review of Environmental Factors (REF).
An REF is an environmental assessment undertaken to determine the impact of a proposed activity on the environment for works undertaken by Council that do not require development consent.
The REF examines the significance of any likely impacts on the surrounding environment and community such as noise, contamination, flooding and heritage, and includes mitigation measures to be implemented to reduce any identified adverse impacts.
Prior to construction works, the nominated construction contractor will be required to submit plans to Council detailing how all environmental and traffic controls will be implement in-line with site conditions and relevant standards.
Council’s assigned Project Manager will regularly monitor implementation and maintenance of these control measures during the construction period.
Residents will receive further notification including the contact details for Council’s Project Manager should they have concerns with environmental and traffic management procedures during construction works.
During construction works, the sports field will be closed to the public. Where possible, Council will seek to maintain access to other park facilities including the circuit path, toilets and fitness equipment.
Given there are no works scheduled to the existing playground, it is proposed it will remain open for the duration of construction works.
Doyle Ground is located within flood prone land. Flood modelling has been undertaken to ensure that proposed works do not increase the risk of flooding to surrounding locations.
The setout of critical infrastructure has been undertaken to ensure works comply with Council’s development guidelines.
Impacts of proposed works and flooding is assessed in the Review of Environmental Factors.
Under Stage 2, the sports pavilion building and cricket nets are proposed to be replaced.
These expanded facilities will be designed to meet the growing needs of sporting user groups and the community.
The sports pavilion building is proposed to include change rooms, a kiosk, storerooms, administration areas and public toilets. It is proposed the new cricket nets will be fully enclosed and include 6 lanes.
Concept design for Stage 2 works is currently in-progress. To stay updated on the progress of the Stage 2 design, please FOLLOW this page.
Four small trees will be removed as part of Stage 1 works. The four trees are located on the south-east corner of the playing field area (inside the circuit path).
The trees were planted by Council in 2016 and are 5m high or under. An arboricultural impact assessment for the project has assessed the trees as being of Low Landscape Significance.
Tree protection measures for all trees to be retained will be provided as outlined in the provided arboricultural impact assessment and Review of Environmental Factors.
