Infrastructure
Everything a Googonian could need
Because Googong is such a massive project, we’re delivering the town’s infrastructure over time, as the town’s population grows. Already the thousands of residents in our first two neighbourhoods, Googong North and Googong Central, enjoy a
high level of amenity with a significant investment in local infrastructure, including the following.

Eight local playgrounds
Googong has eight playgrounds currently open, including an all abilities playground. A pump track offers three courses from beginner to advanced, and there is a skate park, basketball court, tennis courts and netball courts. More playgrounds, including an adventure playground, are being planned and built in each neighbourhood.
Sports Facilities
Rockley Oval and Duncan Fields already host cricket, Aussie Rules and soccer games and there is a double football field and second cricket/AFL field on Wellsvale Drive. There are two tennis courts (and eventually a tennis centre), six netball courts and a skate park and a pump track. The Googong Sports and Recreation Club, an indoor pool and sports centre, a tennis centre and another eight playing fields are planned.
Three dog parks
Googong has three dog parks for four-legged residents and their two-legged owners to enjoy. One is located at Rockley Oval on Rockley Parade. Barkley Park on Duncan Loop is especially large and includes a dam. A third dog park, Scentral Bark, has two fenced areas for large or small dogs and is located on Austin Grove, Googong.

Googonians can enjoy all the luxuries of modern living, including super-fast access to the NBN network to keep you connected to your digital world.
Network of walking paths, bike paths and bush trails
Over 15km of walking paths, bike paths and bush trails are already built, and future stages will further expand on this network.
