Soft smooth “Plexipave ” surface, loads of grip, it’s like paint mixed with sand.. Just like the green bike lanes on roads.

The courts are huge, two full size Netball courts side by side. We could play two matches at once, come the Tournament!

Photos of the surface and play area are here

Down to business.  The courts will be available to us on Sundays from 3pm – 10pm on Sunday May 17th for 4 weeks. This wiill give us an opportunity to test out the courts surface and see if they work for us and to ensure the court stays in good condition. The floodlights are are also available.  We will have keys to the lockaway shed to store our stuff (cones etc). Perfect!

The area has the following features
- Floodlights and electricity
- Flagstaff train station
- Vic markets (yummy food on sundays)
- Seats in and around the courts
- Toilets!!
- Lots and lots of rubbish/recycling bins
- Picnic tables
- Kids (and Charles’s) play area
- BBQ facilities
- Bowling club diner/bar, should be serving alcohol when the bowls club meet (more for our Tournaments as we BYO)

We are negotiating the price, but between $3-5 per person should cover it.  We hope to reduce this to a Gold Coin donation if numbers are up!

There are some fairly simple conditions
As we are sharing the court with others playing Netball and Tennis, we need to be careful not to mark the surface too much.
- Be a little more careful when using our mallets against the ground, it may leave a mark.
- Try not to do too many long skids, and if there are some skids on the ground then we can sweep them off with a broom from the clubhouse.  If you are a skid fiend, consider getting a blue or white rear tyre.
- Mallets will need to be checked to make sure that there are no protruding screws or bolts.

A few recent working bees have tidied up the court added edging, so the court should be much better to play on now.

Make sure you come along for all the fun, spills, broken mallets, BBQs and more. As usual, play is from 2pm.

Polo will be at the corner of Hawthorn St and Helen St, Northcote; just behind the Northcote Social Club (301 High Street), with play starting at 2pm.
