Paul Wade Field

It's a perfect place to enjoy soccer matches. Close to the city and surrounded with mamy facilities to enjoy the afternoon.

The Paul Wade Field at Albert Park (Field 7/8), is located at the southern end of Aughtie Drive in Albert Park. Many of the sports grounds within Albert Park are named after sports stars and the Paul Wade Field is one of these. This field is named after the footballer, Paul Wade who is best known for his long-term role as captain of the Socceroos, Australia's national football team.The field is well maintained but there some negatives. As is with many other sports grounds in the Albert Park Reserve, there isn't really any seating provided or many shaded areas around this field. So you have to self prepare for these.Also, there is only limited parking at the field itself and while roadside parking is available, it can be difficult to find a spot during busy times when events are also taking place at the other adjacent sports grounds. You also need to be aware that parking fees apply to all marked bays and roadside parking throughout Albert Park. While all profits raised from parking are put back into Albert Park, which is a good thing, another option might be to park along Canterbury Road opposite Fraser Street, which is only a few minutes away, and walk across the Light Rail.
