Ireland Park Draft Masterplan
What is the current status?
Council has approved the draft masterplan for public exhibition in Dec 2024 to establish the improvements and facilities required to meet its rapidly growing community. Liverpool City Council has prepared a draft Master Plan to upgrade Ireland Park as part of the broader Five Parks Master Plan, spanning along the length of Brickmakers Creek starting at Joe Broad Park through to Ireland Park.
Where is the project taking place?
Ireland Park is an established park located along Memorial Ave and Cabramatta Creek. It is currently used as a training ground by the Liverpool Rangers Soccer Club (LRSC). The site accommodates a sports field, car park, amenities block, toilets and change rooms. These facilities are used by the Rangers Club members 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.
What is proposed?
The draft Master Plan articulates prioritised improvements to the sports field and amenities, including upgrades to the change rooms, toilets, car parking and the construction of a function/ meeting room and separate amenities for the “Home” and “Away” teams.
The draft Master Plan provides a holistic vision for the future of the park and will provide improved facilities and amenities for the local community. It will enable Council to upgrade the park in stages, as funding becomes available.
The draft Master Plan incorporates the following features:
- Extension of car park area;
- Concrete pathways connecting the car park to the sports fields and amenities block;
- Upgraded amenities building;
- Upgraded sports field that is currently in use for Stage 1;
- Two new sports fields in Stage 2;
- Play space and off-leash dog park in Stage 3; and
- A new fence around the sports fields.
