Carlton Recreation Ground, Sports stadium in Carlton North, Australia
Carlton Recreation Ground features multiple sports fields, encompassing football grounds, cricket pitches, and bowling facilities within the boundaries of Princes Park.
The ground opened in 1897 and hosted three Victorian Football League Grand Finals during World War II, with attendance reaching 62,986 at the 1945 final.
The stadium serves as the administrative headquarters for Carlton Football Club while maintaining facilities for various community sports organizations and activities.
