Seymour Shaw Park, reserve in Sutherland Shire LGA, New South Wales, Australia
Seymour Shaw Park is a sports venue and recreation area in Miranda located within the Sutherland Shire. It features maintained grass fields, walking paths, playground equipment for children, skate bowls with features for different skill levels, seating areas, and sports facilities for soccer and casual games.
The park was established in 1950 and became a gathering place for local sports teams. A major renovation in 2007 brought new seating and improved lighting for evening events, while the soccer field was later upgraded to meet international playing standards.
The park is named after Seymour Shaw, a local figure whose legacy is honored through this community space. It functions as a gathering place where neighbors come together for sports, walks, and social moments throughout the week.
The park is easy to reach by car with nearby parking available and good access by public transport. Well-maintained paths make it simple to walk and explore the space, and shaded areas with trees provide pleasant spots to rest on warm days.
The park hosts one of the first soccer fields in Australia built to meet international playing standards and was the site of the Australian women's national soccer team's first international match against New Zealand in 1979. This overlooked connection to women's football makes it a quiet witness to an important moment in local sports history.
