McIvor Reserve currently services more than a dozen sporting clubs and groups:

• Yarraville-Footscray Bowling Club
• Footscray Baseball Club
• Footscray Hockey Club
• Yarraville Glory Football Club
• Yarraville Auskick
• Yarraville Seddon Eagles Football Club
• Footscray United Cricket Club
• Sunshine Druids Cricket Club
• Sunshine YCW Cricket Club
• Kingsville Cricket Club
• St Andrews Cricket Club
• Seddon Cricket Club
• Yarraville Cricket Club

That's a lot of sporting activity.

Meetings with tenant clubs and user groups during the first round of engagement identified plenty of room for improvement when it comes to the current sporting facilities - particularly the quality of the open sports field, the need for competition-standard lighting, access to toilets especially at the western end of the Reserve, increased parking, storage and seating and upgrades to existing pavilions and more.

The draft master plan recognises the need to do better and proposes a range of individual projects to improve sporting facilities - including a proposed six-court indoor sports facility at the northern end of the Reserve.

The preferred location for the indoor sports facility minimises the impact on open space and the dog park, maximising space currently occupied by parking and ensuring protection of some of the Reserve’s most mature trees.

Along with the provision of changing rooms and public toilets, there is also opportunity to potentially integrate the Yarraville-Footscray Bowling Club clubroom, if they would like, meeting their need for upgraded facilities, particularly a new clubroom.
