Silver Jubilee Park ! Now Open
Springfield Lakes Hawks Officially Open New Club Facilities
A Milestone Moment for Our Community Club
After more than three years of planning, persistence, and hard work, Springfield Lakes Hawks Rugby Club is proud to officially open our brand new club facilities. This major milestone marks the beginning of a new era for our players, families, and community.
Led by Club President Shay Randle, this project has been about more than bricks and mortar. It represents years of effort to create a home for rugby in our region. A home built not just for the game itself, but for the people who bring it to life. From concept through construction, every step forward has been guided by a belief in what our club could become.
A Huge Thank You, Hawks Family
To all our players, families, and staff, thank you for making this past weekend such a special one.
To everyone who donated to the bake sale, your generosity made a real difference. To our players, thank you for giving it your all. You showed heart, skill, and outstanding sportsmanship in every game. A big thank you to our amazing volunteers and Under 15 girls for welcoming guests, serving great food, and representing everything this club stands for with warmth and pride.
A special acknowledgement goes to Nathan and the field crew. Your huge effort in getting the venue prepared, particularly under tight timeframes and the added challenge of hosting our very first Junior Hub, did not go unnoticed. You completed the job with professionalism and pride.
Out here on the outskirts, we remain a community first, family based club and it shows. There are no egos. Just people turning up and putting in the work for the love of the game and the benefit of the kids. That spirit is what makes our club culture so special.
A Facility That Changes Everything
Saturday was more than just a great game day. It also marked the official launch of our long awaited clubhouse. With our new facilities now in place, Springfield Lakes Hawks can deliver a full rugby experience both on and off the field.
We now have the capacity to:
• Host finals matches, regional tournaments, and large scale carnivals
• Provide proper change rooms and professional spaces for players and officials
• Create better spectator and team environments
• Support the expansion of our junior, senior, and girls programs
• Build stronger pathways for future generations
This facility is a true game changer. It allows us to look forward with confidence, knowing we now have the infrastructure to support the size, standards, and spirit of our club. It reflects how far we have come. From humble beginnings on borrowed fields to a home we can proudly call our own.
Thank You to Our Sponsors and Supporters
To our valued sponsors, thank you for backing this vision with your time, funding, and continued support. Your belief in our mission has played a vital role in making it a reality. We are proud to stand alongside you and look forward to hosting a finals series with you right here at home.
To every person who contributed from the first conversations to the final touches, thank you. This is your achievement as much as ours. It was built by hands, hearts, and community.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses:
• Our junior teams head into the school holidays for a well earned break with time for rest, travel, and team bonding
• Our senior men continue their Wyatt Cup campaign with focus and determination
• Our Girls 7s program officially launches on 1 July, setting the stage for BJRU and future tournament opportunities
• On 23 June, we come together again for our first club hangi fundraiser in years. Let us make it a success
From all of us at Springfield Lakes Hawks, thank you for being part of something truly special.
Together, we have built more than just facilities. We have built a future.
