Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence and Community Facility

Kellyville Park, Memorial Avenue, Kellyville

The Parramatta Eels National Rugby League Club (the Eels), with support from Hills Shire Council and the Federal Government, is leading the development of a new world-class Centre of Excellence and Community Hub for Western Sydney.

As part of the Kellyville Park master plan, Council has completed a number of upgrades including two new sports fields, new car park and access from Stone Mason Drive, storage, amenities and drainage.

A new era for local sport

Kellyville Park will be the home for all ages and abilities – from grassroots to elite sport. The state-of-the-art facilities will enable junior, senior and elite sports men and women to take their game to the next level.

From across Sydney, teams will go head to-to-head in touch footy, Tag League and all abilities Try Time Rugby League. Students can strive for their personal best at school sports Gala Days and face off their friendly-rivals at P.S.S.A.

The Eels are committed to fostering the talent of Western Sydney. Parramatta Junior Rugby League has the second largest catchment in New South Wales and is home to 5,200 aspiring players, 352 teams and 28 clubs.

Thinking of our neighbours

We are focused being a good neighbour - well before construction commences and the front gate opens. Therefore, our plans will include:

  • Effective traffic management, carparking and access during construction and operations 
  • Minimising any noise impacts on neighbours by using sound reduction materials to absorb crowd and game noise
  • Careful lighting design, to avoid light spill onto neighbouring homes.

The Parramatta Eels is working closely with a traffic planning expert, Transport for NSW and Hills Shire Council to coordinate traffic management and other road upgrades to minimise impact on the local community and residents throughout construction and operations.

Keeping you informed 

More information about the project will be available in coming months and we will be keeping supporters and the community informed about next steps.
