Garnet Adcock Memorial Park

"Nestled in the heart of the Central Coast, this park is a vibrant and dynamic haven for both sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This sprawling park, with its expansive netball court, plays a pivotal role in promoting women's netball in the region. The jewel in the crown of this park is undoubtedly the expansive netball courts. This facility provides an ideal setting for local women's netball leagues and tournaments. It's not just about competition, though; it's a community gathering point where friendships are forged and a love for the sport is nurtured. The park has become a hotbed for talent development, where aspiring female netball players hone their skills, ensuring a bright future for the sport in the region. For those seeking a more leisurely experience, the park offers a picturesque walking track that winds its way through lush greenery and native flora. If you prefer a bit more speed and intensity, the park boasts a large cycling and athletic track. Cyclists can zoom along dedicated lanes, while athletes can utilize the well-maintained running lanes and field areas. Cricket enthusiasts are not forgotten either. The park features a cricket ground that hosts local matches, bringing the community together during the cricket season. For dog owners, the vast open spaces within the park provide an ideal setting for dog walking and play. It's a joy to see both four-legged and two-legged friends enjoying the outdoors in harmony. Beyond being a netball hub, it serves as a testament to the region's commitment to promoting women's sports and fostering a sense of community. With its scenic walking track, cycling and athletic facilities, cricket ground, and dog-friendly open spaces, it's a place where people of all ages and interests can come together to enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful escape, this park has something to offer everyone."

"Great potential for improvement and better use. Well used by netball, with good facilities. But carparking and access is poorly designed and lacking. Rest of the site is underutilised by minor sports. Perhaps a great opportunity to assist women's football following the success of the Women's World Cup."

"A huge space for local sport with a one mile path that loops the area. Perfect space for walks, bike rides or kicking the ball around. It's the netball hub for Gosford with plenty of courts, an AFL field, baseball field and lots of other fields available. There is also an athletics field which is surrounded by a bicycle velodrome. All of this is accessible to anyone when it's not being used by clubs during their competitions. The only issue is parking on a typical Saturday during netball and other big events."

"Make sure to turn left when you first drive in, if you want to access all the areas with your car. Don't turn up after school / work if you want a quiet, peaceful time."
