Waverley Park was the first Aussie rules game I ever went to, in 1989. Hawks v North.

Surprisingly the original 1970s Johns and Waygood lifts in the surviving grandstand section survived and are still operating today with only their buttons, indicators and cab interiors updated more recently! :)

interesting to see how much the area has changed in (almost) 20 years. Looked like the middle of the countryside then which is definitely isn't today. Would be cool if some sort of reserve league footy was played there again (VFL, AFLW) but I'd doubt that'd happen with all the housing development around the venue

i was born in 2007, but i wouldve loved to have gone to this ground when it was in use before demolition i have been to waverley park before, on fathers day a few years ago we had lunch at the nice little restaraunt there is at the main entrance, and my dad and i had a kick there on the oval and we sat at the bottom of the grand stand too bad marvel replaced it, its a damn shame
@rohcool3233 ай бұрын
I grew up near the ground but was born well after it closed, would be cool only having to travel a few k's to the ground on a regular. Marvel is a bit of a shithole also so yes it does suck

To this day I still go there to kick the footy even though I’m only 15 but it’s a great ground to go to and the best to kick the footy.

So sad that this ground was shut down. The home of a Grand Final, the home of World Series Cricket. Wayne Daniel hitting a six to win a World Series match for the Windies. I was there when Justin Madden kicked a goal from outside 50 vs Adelaide in the 1993 Semi Final. Great memories at this ground.

Danny Miller Etihad is a good stadium but this ground should never have been bulldozed except for that one grandstand. I agree a direct train line from flinders street to the ground would've been perfect. It just had so much promise and it was great to watch footy at long live Waverley park.
