  • Forestville Stadium ’50 Years of Wonderful Memories’
    FORESTVILLE STADIUM ’50 YEARS OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES’ For those that remember, walking into Forestville Stadium was just a pleasurable experience, filled always with a touch of anticipation and excitement. For those that were able to play there regularly, it was generally the highlight of their week. Forestville was to many ‘the home of basketball’ certainly in South Australia if not Australia, although our Victorian Colleagues who played at Albert park might disagree. Albert Park was the Forestville for Melbournites although with 9 courts it was much larger (probably should be the subject of another separate article). Forestville was at the intersection of the Goodwood Train station and Glenelg Tram, adjacent to the Tram overpass. There were two access points through the overpass. One which could fit a very small car through (Mini Minor) and the second a walkway with the Trams thundering overhead just a couple of feet above. Now the big deal was, who could stand there as the Tram went over, a true badge of honor. But Forestville still holds a special place in the hearts of thousands of Baby Boomers for whom it was their second home. I first walked into Forestville Stadium in 1958 with my older brother to watch a District Basketball Match. Sturt v Norwood from memory, but not the same Clubs as today. What an experience and what a thrill, the first time I had seen basketball, it was to become a defining moment in my life. It led to me starting to play three years later as a 13-year-old. The District Association in Adelaide at that time had teams such as: • VYTIS (Lithuanians) • ALS (Latvians) • BUDAPEST (Hungarians) • ESTONIA Plus, a team of American Mormon Missionaries.
