Corroboree Group Oval, Manuka

The Corroboree Group Oval at Manuka — the well-known Manuka Oval sports ground — sits on Manuka Circle at Griffith, in Canberra's inner south. A much-loved sporting ground, it's a genuine Canberra institution, hosting cricket, AFL and other major sporting events and matches in a lovely, leafy setting, the kind of beloved venue that's central to the capital's sporting life.

The appeal is that combination of quality sport and a great atmosphere: catching a cricket match, an AFL game or another event at one of Canberra's premier sporting grounds, in a pleasant, accessible inner-south location near the Manuka and Kingston precincts. For sports fans, a game at the ground is a genuine highlight, with plenty of dining and bars nearby to round out the day.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved venue. The events-and-fixtures schedule, ticketing, entry, opening times and any facilities vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current schedule and booking tickets ahead before you go — particularly for a specific match or event — then enjoying the sport at the Manuka ground in Canberra.
