Facilities

Our club enjoys the use of a full size playing field (the Tom O’Halloran Field), lovingly cared for by Mr O’Halloran himself and Parks Victoria. Beginning in the 2009/10 summer season we'll have a temporary home run fence for all games.  We will continue to have access to recycled water from Albert Park Lake - ensuring our field holds up well if another long hot summer arrives

We also have a substantial pavilion for canteen and social events.

Parking

Parking fees were introduced at Albert Park Reserve on 18 April 2006 by Parks Victoria.

The fees were introduced to make parking fair for the park’s users, minimise its use as a “freebie” for commuters, and return revenue for reinvestment into the park. All vehicles in pay-for-parking areas of the Reserve must purchase a ticket from one of the pay-and-display ticket machines in the park. To avoid parking fines, tickets must be displayed prominently on the dashboard.

Parking fees

Members of our club may also purchase seasonal (6-monthly) parking permits through Park Victoria for $20.

Update 1/1/09: Parking fines
For the first time in recent memory parking inspectors recently pinged cars along Hockey Drive for not obtaining parking tickets. All members are encouraged to either obtain the 6 monthly parking permit through Parks Victoria for $20, or to spend $2 (flat rate on the weekend) each time you park. Funds generated by parking meters in Albert Park reserve go towards sporting club grants. St Kilda Baseball club has been successful in obtaining these grants, so by paying for your parking you're indirectly supporting the club. Parking fines go to the council, so buy a ticket!
