The AFLCUA has developed the following shorthand guide to help umpires find the location of their appointed match. This guide can be used in-conjunction with AFL Canberra's game day weblink.
As a general rule, we have provided information to plug into Google Maps and/or the map software of your choice so as to locate and navigate to the ground. We have also included some locale descriptions to help provide additional guidance.
Don't forget: you need to be at your game a minimum of 45 minutes (preferably one hour) before the first bounce. This ensures you have enough time to warm-up and meet your panel before walking onto the field of play.
AFL Canberra Senior Venues
ADFA Oval - aka 'ADFA AFL Oval', on ADFA campus in Campbell. Not to be confused with RMC Oval (see below).
Adero Law Nest - this is 'Holt Oval', in the suburb of Holt. If your navigation software needs a street address, go to "Ormsby Place". The gate to get through the big fence is from the south-east corner right off Ormsby. The Holt 102 oval next door is used for Junior and Community Division games.
Alan Ray Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. As a tip, the entry to the parking and oval is located off Wakefield Avenue between the Ainslie Club and Ainslie Fire Station.
Amaroo 101 (or any Amaroo XYZ) - for these ovals you want 'Amaroo District Playing Fields'. Note: when you turn off Horse Park Drive you want to turn right and go to the carpark down that road rather than go straight to the first/closest carpark. Also, be warned... these grounds are cold!
ANU South Oval - this is 'South Oval' on the ANU Campus in Acton. Specific street is "Ward Road"
EPC Solar Park - this is 'Phillip Oval' in Phillip. The home of AFL Canberra, and is sometimes just called 'Footy Park'.
Greenway Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. Watch out for the frost in winter and the kangaroos (and their droppings) year-round.
Gungahlin Enclosed Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. "Crinigan Circuit" is the address you want (despite Google saying it's on Warwick St). That's because entry to get through the big fence for this one is from the south west, whereas Crinigan Circuit evolves into carparks.
Holt 102 - this is the other AFL oval that is next to (slightly south/east from) the Adero Law Nest
Kambah 107 - this is part of the 'Kambah District Playing Fields' in Kambah. It's in the southwest corner of the playing fields area, so your best bet is to try park as west as you can in the carpark off 'Chirnside Circuit'.
Kingston Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. Despite the name, it's actually in the suburb of Griffith, 8 Dawes St for the exact address.
Lindwall Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. This is sometimes called 'Marist Oval' as it's on-site at Marist College.
Patches Asphalt Park (Margaret Donoghe Sports Complex) - can be found directly via Google Maps. 26 Queenbar St if you need/want a street address. A tip for this one is that the entry gate is across from the IGA shopping centre near Cooma St.
RMC Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. Is also on the ADFA Campus in Campbell. Not to be confused with ADFA AFL Oval (see above).
Rockley Oval - can be found directly via Google Maps. This ground is in Googong so plan ahead for your travel time and especially as on-street parking is required. The tip for this ground is that the designated "change room" is a very small utilities room.
Stirling 101 (or other Stirling XYZ) - you want "Stirling District Playing Fields No.1", or if you need a street address "Teesdale Place", in Stirling.
UNSW Canberra Oval - this is 'Manuka Oval' in Manuka.
