Most people who are in the Brisbane Hockey scene would have by now, seen the development works for the 2nd Field at Burringbar Park. We thought we would take this opportunity to take a walk down memory lane.
Below is a great pictorial of the development work and final completion of the number one field at Burringbar back on 26th May 2001. The photos were donated by Rose Smith soon after the completion.
The City United Hockey Club, as we were then known, moved to Hamilton Road Reserve in 1978, now Burringbar Park. The name “Burringbar” is an aboriginal word appropriately meaning the “clashing of sticks”. From then the club started to construct 4 grass fields for playing from the hard fill dump that existed before (Remains of the old Chermside Allan & Starks damaged by fire earlier and other debris were found below).
