A new indoor cricket training centre called Maroondah Edge has opened in Jubilee Park located in Melbourne’s eastern suburb of Ringwood.

The facility received $3.08 million in investment from the Victorian Government and boasts five lanes for indoor cricket training, viewing platform, multipurpose room and office space.

The venue will host player development programs and support grassroots cricket pathways in Melbourne’s outer east. The state-of-the-art facility will continue to further raise the profile of women’s cricket in Victoria as it is envisaged to become a regional women’s centre of excellence for cricket.

The facility will also be used by the premier grade Ringwood Cricket Club, Cricket Victoria and the Ringwood District Cricket Association (RDCA).

Overlooking the Premier Grade Russell Lucas Oval in the Jubilee Park sporting precinct, the centre is now one of four indoor cricket training hubs in the Melbourne metropolitan area, and a one-of-a-kind facility in the Eastern Region.

Mayor of Maroondah Rob Steane, said the new centre will add significantly to Jubilee Park’s sporting and leisure precinct and enthused “this new facility is set to be a fantastic addition to the range of sporting and leisure facilities we have at Jubilee Park, which includes facilities for local cricket, football, tennis, soccer, and croquet, along with children’s playgrounds and of course Aquanation.”

This project has been funded by Maroondah City Council in partnership with the Victorian Government.
