Sarah Redfern Oval

Sarah Redfern Oval

This sports complex is located in the suburb of Mentow, New South Wales, Australia, and is one of the main grounds for football competitions and training organised by the MacarthurFootballAssociation. Despite the name "Football" in the documentation, the site is known as the "Playing Fields", indicating that it is open for multi-purpose use.

As it is used primarily for football, it is possible that other popular sports such as cricket or 7-a-side football or beach soccer may also be used, although this is not certain. Of note, funding was awarded for an upgrade of the complex in 2019 to improve lighting and ancillary facilities.
