About Ireland Park
Ireland Park is located on the southern side of Cabramatta Creek and is framed by the creek parkland with residential dwellings to the south. Vehicular access is from Memorial Avenue along a single driveway with 70 car spaces. Pedestrian access is from a number of sides that connect to surrounding suburbs and the creek parkland walking track.
The park currently accommodates a sports field, car park, amenities block, toilets and change rooms.
The site and facilities are currently used as a training ground by the Liverpool Rangers Soccer Club (LRSC) and for a range of sports including cricket, football and rugby. In addition, Ireland Park is used recreationally by residents and the greater community for passive open space.
