The upgrade, which will include new grandstand seating, lighting and irrigation, kiosk and reconstruction of the rugby field, is well underway with the first of three major concrete pours carried out last week.
Cumberland City Mayor Steve Christou said the field had not received a facelift in more than 40 years and was in a debilitated state.
“I’m excited that it will now become a place for our community and sports enthusiasts to bring sports to life, and give our Western Sydney Two Blues Rugby Union Club a new revitalised field to play on,” he said.
“Our sports clubs have pride in their local area and it’s great that they’re finally getting the facilities to match.”
The Two Blues have been playing their home matches at Lidcombe Oval.
