dont focus on the parks and gyms part... those were just fillers.
Malvern has some top notch facilities though.
The Malvern Rec Centre boasts a huge variety of playing surfaces. scarbarikhatru can you tell me of any other city facility with as many different sports surfaces?
- 3 tennis courts with night illumination
- 1 beach sand volleyball court
- 1 ball hockey court with 2 permanent nets and markings + lights
- 1 netball court with markings + lights and bleachers
- 1 baseball field + lights
- 1 soccer field
- 2 ice hockey rinks
- 1 large gymnasium
The new Nike sports complex right next door adds even more (not on google maps... too new)
- 200m running track
-
6 basketball nets, with markings for full court
-
artificial turf soccer field with 2 permanent "netted" goals
Lester B Pearson CI - hosts the local elementary school track meets
- 400m track (lots of schools have this, but the point is the combination of all this public sports infrastructure in a small area is what makes it special)
- paved running track with sand pits on both ends for jumping events
- swimming pool
- soccer/football field with field goal posts
McLevin Community Park
-
3 tennis courts with clean markings + lights
- 2 large soccer pitches + lights and bleachers
Neilson Park
- 1 large, regulation size baseball field with dirt infield, mound, foul poles, bleachers and lights
- 1 smaller field with lights and bleachers
Not everywhere has these kind of playing fields with the lights especially. Theres a ton of leagues that use these facilities for games and tournaments.
And again... the point being everything is so close together (walking distance) and publicly available.
This is leaving out Rosebank Park with 4 basketball nets + markings and the Chinese Cultural Centre gymnasium which has the markings for badminton.
