Pettys Reserve is well located and accessible as a regional sports venue on a major road (Reynolds Road), near a bus stop and surrounded by residents on only two sides.
The Reserve is currently being developed as a regional soccer facility, with Council's Recreation Strategy 2010 endorsing the implementation of works in two stages.
Stage 1 of the Development Plan was completed in 2012 and comprised two grass soccer fields, demolition of the former Pony Clubrooms, a crushed rock carpark with access from Smiths Road, fencing and landscaping.
Stage 2 of the Development Plan is to include a sealed carpark with access from Reynolds Road, a small sports pavilion, a small playspace and an upgrade of the soccer fields to synthetic turf.
