Bill Lawry Oval

It is most notable as the home ground of the Northcote Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket, and of the Northcote Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).

[1] However, its location near Merri Creek was relatively distant from the main town, meaning it was neither well patronised nor well maintained during the 19th century,[2] and Croxton Park was the town's favoured venue for sports.

[1] In 1908, the football club (at that stage playing in the Victorian Football Association) returned to Croxton Park from 1909 until 1914; then, returned to Northcote Park in 1915 after the main grandstand was opened.

[4] The Northcote Football Club remained at the venue from 1915 until it folded at the end of the 1987 season.
