Elcho Park, Soccer and golf complex in Lara, Australia.
Elcho Park is a sports facility in Lara featuring three soccer fields, a golf course, and a main grandstand with seating for around 200 spectators. The complex spans several hectares and provides training and competition spaces for multiple sports.
The facility opened in January 1986, marked by its first competitive match which ended in a 3-3 draw between North Geelong and Essendon City. Since then, it has grown into an established sports venue for the region.
The facility is run by the Australian Croatian Soccer Association of Geelong and serves as home ground for the North Geelong Warriors Football Club. The venue reflects the local Croatian community's commitment to soccer.
The venue offers over 100 parking spaces and multiple soccer fields that are easily accessible to visitors. The golf course facilities are also open to the public and provide standard amenities for golfers.
The private facility received public funding for the first time in 2015 to improve changing rooms. This investment was part of a broader development project that modernized the grounds.
