ACT Sports Field Locations with Asset Types and Surface Materials

A polygon dataset showing the locations of sports fields in the Australian Capital Territory, owned or managed by the City and Environment Directorate. Attributes include field type, surface material, suburb, and ownership details, captured through a works-as-executed handover process or field audits. The data was last updated on 2026-04-04 by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of sports facilities by suburb based on the location and suburb attributes.
• Analyze the prevalence of different field types (e.g., Australian Rules, Soccer, Cricket) based on the asset sub-type attribute.
• Assess surface material composition (e.g., grass, turf) for maintenance planning based on the surface material attribute.
• Identify public versus privately managed assets based on the ownership and maintained-by attributes.

Strengths

• Detailed asset sub-type classification with over 40 distinct categories, including specific field sports and multi-use courts.
• Includes specific governance details, noting assets are owned or managed by the City and Environment Directorate.
• Data is linked to a documented municipal infrastructure standard for additional context.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes that assets managed by other government bodies or privately may not be included, indicating potential coverage gaps.
