Tucked away in the forever-expanding family suburb of Cameron Park is Pasterfield Sports Complex. Sprawled across 8 hectares of land, you’ll be blown away by the open space. This complex is so much more than a playground. Discover one of Lake Macquarie’s largest sports fields, practice nets and netball courts. But let’s get real. It’s the kid’s adventure playground and hours of activity and fun that we’re interested in!
Pasterfield Sports Complex
Getting here is easy. You’ll either come from George Booth Drive or Main Road Cardiff and all you need to do is turn into Dunbar Road at Cameron Park. Once on Dunbar, take a right into Billabong Ave, then a left into Horizon Ave. As you approach the complex, you’ll see the playground straight ahead. There are two car parks. The main one is up the top near the clubhouse and you’ll also find another smaller one behind the netball courts. There’s plenty of parking for everyone.
This complex was opened in 2018 by the Lake Macquarie Council and funded by developer contributions.
Outdoor fitness equipment
It’s a gym set up outside and perfect for anyone who wants to mix up their workout. Of course, my kids thought it was a playground and headed straight for it. From leg presses to pull-downs, pedalling and rowing. You name it and they have it.
Massive climbing net
In a spaceship design, the climbing net will test the kid’s agility and ability to handle heights. There are many different sections here including a rope balance climb and a tunnel climb. The kids can also test their bar skills on the utility climbing frame.
Younger kids playground
The younger kids play in their own space with a large selection of equipment to explore. Kids will have fun on the climbing wall, spinning frame, swings plus at the banging and communication play equipment. They can also climb ‘Fort Pasterfield’ on their very own slide and climb area.
Skate park and bike track
Not only is there a 1km shared pathway loop, the older, or more skilled, children have a skate park and BMX bike track! The skate bowl is quite deep but not too big, so great for kids who love to ride. However, there are also some additional areas for scooter riders, and beginners can also have a go.
Down the back of the skate park, is the BMX bike track. A classic BMX-style track with jumps for experienced bike riders or the kids can slowly ride over them.
Netball courts
The netball courts are the perfect spot for the kids to enjoy the space. So make sure you pack their bike, scooter or skateboard, so they can ride around and burn some energy. If they love basketball or netball, maybe bring their ball. It’s a great space for either.
Facilities at the Pasterfield Sports Complex
If you’re planning a catch-up with friends or even a birthday party, the Pasterfield Sports Complex has the facilities to cater. There are plenty of undercover areas for a gathering. You’ll also find plenty of bench seats and bubblers. The complex also has an awesome BBQ area and plenty of grass for a picnic on a blanket. Toilets are located in the middle of the play area and garbage bins are scattered throughout the grounds.
