Statement of Significance

The Recreation Ground is an important site both historically and socially, hosting many important sporting and other event, including the agricultural show. It represents the needs of the local region and its people to interact, socialise and exhibit skills and products.

History

In 1915 a large area was selected for the Recreation and Show ground, the first agricultural show being held in November 1922. In 1991 the sports pavilion was extended through the efforts of volunteer labour, and completed by July 1991.
