Wollondilly Shire Council and Picton Rangers Soccer Club have secured funding to upgrade the amenities at Picton Sportsground.

Work will begin on site in January 2024 and the facility should be completed and ready for use by August 2024. There will be minimal disruptions to the use of the grounds and existing building while works are underway.

The massive upgrade is part of a huge investment into playgrounds and sportsgrounds right across the Wollondilly Shire, from Warragamba to Yanderra. It includes extensions to the existing building to add home and away change rooms, a club room, a multipurpose room including space for emergency services, improvements to the existing canteen, storage, referees’ rooms, a first aid room, an outdoor barbecue area, spectator seating and connection to town water.

Mayor Matt Gould said “I’m delighted to see that the Picton Sportsground amenities building will receive such a huge upgrade. The extension will more than double the footprint of the existing building and will now comfortably accommodate local teams, visiting clubs and spectators.”

“Thank you to Picton Rangers Soccer Club, who secured two grants for the project including the 2019 Sports Election Commitment Program with the NSW Office of Sport and the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grant through the Commonwealth Government, Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources.”

“I appreciate the funding through NSW and Federal Governments, amounting to more than $3.2M. It will completely transform the Picton Sportsground facility,” he said.
