Baarmutha Park Sports Nets
About this project
We're upgrading the cricket practice lanes at Beechworth's Baarmutha Park to an all-purpose sporting facility.
Why is this project being undertaken?
This project will see us replace the ageing and non-compliant three lane practice nets with a four lane fully enclosed facility that has been designed to Cricket Australia Community Cricket Facility Guidelines.
The upgrade will enable greater participation for all members of the community in a safer and more enjoyable environment.
