Thankyou for visiting the site of the Wonga Park Cricket Club.

Wonga Park is not only one of the most successful cricket clubs on field, it also boasts as being the most family orientated club in the local area.

The club rooms and two main ovals are based off Launders Avenue in Wonga Park, nestled amongst the beautiful and scenic surroundings which gives the club that unique country feel.

We encourage new members, whether they be playing or non playing, young or old, to come and be part of the WPCC.
