Sports Ground Toilets in Victoria

340 public toilets at sporting grounds are recorded in Victoria, out of 2,099 nationally. That makes it the second-largest state total, behind New South Wales (1,023). They sit in 242 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Mildura (7), Cranbourne East (6) and Wangaratta (6). Those 3 account for 19 of the 340; a further 184 towns record exactly one.

The list takes in Highfield Park Pavilion at 840 Riversdale Road, Bunguyan Recreation Reserve, North Park and Sydney Pargeter Reserve. Around Mildura the listings run to Aero Ovals 1, Mildura Sporting Precinct and Mildura Rowing Club.

Of the 340, 225 have parking on site, 180 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 53 have drinking water. Set against the 5,803 listings in Victoria, that is a 6% share, rising to 4% among the 24-hour listings.

180 of the 340 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Ewing Park Sports Ground and McDonald Reserve. 11 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Wurdi Baierr Stadium and Cobblebank Stadium. 8 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Maroondah Nets and Collingwood Leisure Centre. 18 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 57 of the 340 have a baby-change table, and 54 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

121 of the 340 are published as open 24 hours — including Mount Martha Tennis Club and Trevor Barker oval (south side). 77 open in daylight hours only, 77 list variable hours and 13 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5:30am at Casey ARC and the latest closing is 11pm at Cobblebank Stadium. 8 are shown as closed on Mondays. 156 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

1 of the 340 charges for entry; the rest are free: North Park Club Rooms. Ovals, courts, clubrooms and grandstands all land in this category. A good number are unlocked only for training nights and fixtures, so a weekday visit is the least reliable. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
