The Western Adelaide region is made up of three council areas (the City of Port Adelaide Enfield, the City of Charles Sturt and the City of West Torrens)
and provides facilities for numerous sports across the region including swimming, athletics, cycling, golf, equestrian, rugby, lacrosse, American football, archery, volleyball, beach volleyball, croquet, squash, badminton, ice sports, futsal, shooting, motor sports and sailing.
The following is a summary of the Western Adelaide Sporting Facility Provision • 341 tennis courts; • 319 sports and/or recreation clubs in the Western Adelaide region; • 287 sites providing sporting facilities across the region; • 203 outdoor netball courts; • 148 senior and junior soccer pitches; • 113 cricket facilities (ovals & nets); • 101 council reserves providing sporting facilities; • 77 schools across the region provide sports facilities. • 63 Australian rules football ovals (junior/senior); • 43 multi-use indoor courts; • 27 community and school indoor facilities; • 15 baseball/softball diamonds; • 12 lawn bowls facilities (34 greens); • 9 hockey fields (5 synthetic & 4 grass); • 6 churches that provide facilities for tennis, netball and/or basketball; and SUPPLY & GAP ANALYSIS • 5 surf lifesaving facilities;

Facility Hierarchy Development A facility hierarchy was developed through the study to provide direction for the future planning of existing and proposed facilities. The facilities identified during the audit process were categorised by hierarchy based on a number of factors including: the size and quality of the facility; ability to cater for various levels of competition; proximity to public transport; its geographic catchment area. The following definitions were used to classify existing facilities in the Western Adelaide region.
