Need for Oberon Council to provide a recreation ground at O’Connell which provides the benefits of
- The ability to host sports carnivals for the school and to host other schools for sports carnivals
- Allowing full scale matches of soccer and cricket to be undertaken which are too large for the current school facilities
- Alleviating the strain of the growing school population on existing sporting facilities.
- Hosting community events
The site of the recreational ground would need to be within safe, accessible walking distance from O’Connell Public School and a suggested location is the level ground directly across the highway from the current picnic grounds.
