Wonderful venue. Had a marvellous time at a Big Bash game here Dec 24. Easy through the gate, seat in Bradman stand great and well directed. Packed house-wise, as I did, book ahead for seat certainly. A really well set out venue can even watch players worming up in the nets (without even entering the Oval). A strong recommendation from me. Enjoy I know you will. Trevor Powis Cohuna Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 👌 ♥️
I went and watched the PM XI match vs Pakistan. A great venue where you feel really close to the action extremely comfortable and easy to access. Good arrangement of food and Beverage options available too. I'm looking forward to coming back and watching more sport here.
Enjoyed a T20 game at Manuka Oval. Nearly a full house, although the seating is well spaced so the size of the crowd has little impact except for getting a drink/meal and going to the toilet. The biggest problem with the venue is not enough disabled parking in the vicinity of the venue. Also, parking is very restricted because of the senseless parking restrictions imposed by the ACT Government.
Beautiful little ground, super accessible too compared to places like Sydney. Perfect place for the biggest sporting events in Canberra!
Nice place to watch day night Cricket matches in summer nights. Though small in size as compare to other top-notch around the globe. May have to walk a bit to find parking around.
