Centenary Park, Croydon is a large park with playing fields, basketball courts, playground and a children's bike track.
At its meeting on 19 August 2025, Council resolved to consult the sporting clubs and the community on upgrades to Centenary Park.
In December 2025, Council staff met with sporting clubs to seek their feedback on upgrades to the sport fields and now we want to understand what else can be improved in the upgrade.

Sporting club feedback
In December 2025, Council presented ideas to the sporting clubs who use Centenary Park on upgrades to the fields.
The clubs supported installation of hybrid turf in high wear areas on the oval including the sidelines and goal posts leaving natural grass throughout the majority of the field.
What is hybrid turf?
Hybrid turf combines natural grass with synthetic
fibres. These fibres are stitched or injected vertically into the existing turf
using specialised equipment. As the natural grass grows, its roots wrap around
the fibres, creating a reinforced surface that is more resilient and better
able to withstand heavy use.
What are the benefits of hybrid turf?
- Supports a living grass environment
- Lower long-term maintenance costs
- Stronger and more resilient playing surface
- Fewer closures and more consistent playability
- Better performance in all weather conditions
- Safer for players
