Reviews for Cricket Central
Brenden Wood
An amazing new cricket facility operated by Cricket NSW, located at Wilson Park. There’s a cafe on ground level near the main entry. There are about two dozen cricket nets for practicing. You’ll find an elite-standard cricket oval next to the cafe. Parking for about 40+ vehicles is located alongside the facility - we noticed that some people also park across the road at Silverwater Road, and then walk under the traffic bridge to Cricket Central. The popular Parramatta Valley Cycleway passes the northern edge of this facility. You’ll find an excellent club across Silverwater Road - it serves food and beverages - and has a relaxing atmosphere.

Great net facilities to train indoors for both kids and adults. Ben at the front desk is very helpful and offers excellent customer service.

I thought I'd wandered into the recreation yard at Silverwater prison next door. Then I realised I was at cricket central. I'm not 100% sure I wasn't right the first time! Poor location, lack of transport options, lack of facilities for fans. Couldn't be much worse if you tried!
Yogesh Daddikar
Top notch cricket facility. Excellent customer service by Claire. Can't thank her enough for going above and beyond to explain all the details with utmost humility and patience. She was very soft spoken and extremely helpful. A must visit place if you are passionate about the game and need to train in a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended
Other spaces at this venue

Amphitheatre
Looking like something lifted straight from the uber-cool Google HQ, this stylish, 116.025 linear sqm amphitheatre offers a stunning venue for all manner of events incuding lectures, presentations, school groups, seminars and the like. But don’t let the looks fool you. This amphitheatre is the perfect all-rounder, comfortably seating 232 people with standing room for an extra 80 and the option of additional chairs.

Outdoor Terrace
Last, but most certainly not least, we have our stunning outdoor terrace. Capable of holding up to 300 people, this 496 sqm area overlooks the outdoor turf lanes and provides a bird’s eye view of some of Australia’s finest cricketers in action. It’s also the perfect spot to catch up with friends, partake in a wine or three or even host an al fresco event such as a cocktail party, barbecue or sit- down meal (all catered for through Create Catering).

Alan Davidson Boardroom
Now it’s time to bowl you over with some of the other amazing facilities we have at our disposal. Like the impressive Alan Davidson Boardroom. Named after one of Australia’s finest opening bowlers, we can’t help but think that Alan would have been a big fan of this stunning set up with its purpose-built retractable window and picturesque views over the immaculately kept oval. But there’s more to this setup than just great views. At 68.27sqm and a capacity for 36 people, this multi-purpose boardroom is perfect for meetings, as a classroom, theatre, cocktail or banquet venue. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, yes, all the windows facing the oval are made of shatterproof glass. Just in case there’s a future David Warner or Brad Haddin occupying the crease!

Rina Hore Meeting room
Coming in at no.5 we have one of our most dependable performers. A hardworking, practical, yet still stylish boardroom. Named in honour of the indefatigable Rina Hore, who served as executive director of the Bradman Museum, VP of Australian Women’s Cricket and the first woman ever elected Director to NSW cricket, this 33 sqm room with 18 person capacity is ideal for meetings and corporate team building events. It also boasts spectacular bird’s eye views of the oval. So don’t blame us if your audience spend all their time staring out the window. This room can also be opened up to make a larger shared space in conjunction with the Brian Freedman meeting room.

Brian Freedman Meeting room
At no. 6 we have the hard-working and ever- dependable Brian Freedman meeting room. Brian Freedman has been a devoted and long- serving servant of cricket for many years. Beginning his innings as a 14-year-old scorer for Bankstown Cricket Club’s second grade team, he later went on to be club president from 1982-2006 and a delegate to the Sydney Cricket Association for 30 years. Somehow, he also found the time to be a board member of CNSW and Cricket Australia and manged the Australian under-19 men’s team. The eponymous 32.9 sqm boardroom with 18 person capacity boasts stunning views of the oval and can be used for all manner of corporate events and meetings. It can also be paired up with the Rina Hore meeting room for bigger functions.

Rina Hore/Brian Freedman Meeting rooms combined
What a pair. When the Rina Hore meeting room slides back its retractable dividing wall and merges with the Brian Freedman meeting room, get ready for big things! Combined, the two rooms boast an impressive 65.9sqm, 36 person capacity which is plenty big enough for most corporate events, meetings, training seminars and functions. The a/v equipment in both rooms is state of the art and, as for the view, well that’s state of the art as well, with stunning views across the glorious expanse of the oval.

Venue Hire Cricket Central
We have our amazing state of the art indoor centre. This fabulous set up is perfect for the odd rainy day (OK frequent rainy day). It features 15 indoor nets and pitches with retractable netting on either side, allowing would-be batters and bowlers to sharpen their skills even on the wettest and windiest Sydney days. Nine of these nets are available for hire by the public, with the rest being reserved for high performance teams. When it’s not being used to hone the next Glenn McGrath or Steve Waugh, this whopping 2617 metre space can also be used as a perfect venue for larger functions (up to 1,000 people) such as exhibitions, trade shows, banquets, team building exercises etc.

Oval Hire
At no.1 we’ve naturally decided to showcase our very best. In this case, a magnificent full-size International ICC Compliant oval. Immaculately kept and gloriously picturesque, this oval is used for first-class, elite level matches such as Sheffield Shield, WNCL, One Day Cup, WBBL and is enjoyed by both players and spectators alike.
