Set at the back of Campbells Creek, the trees here were originally selected by Baron Von Mueller, the famed botanist who designed the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens.[1] The 37-40 Campbells Creek Fryer Road Reserve is the sport and recreation hub for the local community, and features:
- Cricket nets
- Football goal posts
- Male change-rooms
- Netball court
- Oval
- Oval lights
- Pavilion
- Playground
- Synthetic cricket wicket
- Trotting track[2]
The Mount Alexander Shire Council is responsible for the management of the land, via the Campbells Creek Recreation Reserve Committee of Management (a Section 86 Committee).[2] This group of local volunteers works to manage and maintain the reserve. The Committee of Management members are all actively involved with the various sporting groups that use the club-rooms, ground and trotting track and are always striving to bring out the best in their facility.
The Recreation Reserve hosts a range of events each year, including the KR Don Christmas party, Castlemaine Lawn Mower Racing and local school athletic days.
The following clubs have their home ground here:
- Campbells Creek Colts Cricket Club
- Campbells Creek Football Netball Club
- Campbells Creek Junior Football Club
- Campbells Creek Trotting Club.
