ACT Sportsground Locations with Ownership and Surface Types

ACTGOV Sportsground Assets is a polygon dataset showing locations of sportsgrounds in the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset is owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate and includes attributes like location description, suburb, ownership, asset subtype, and surface type. It was last updated on 2026-04-04 by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue.

Use Cases

• Map community recreational facility distribution based on suburb and asset subtype.
• Analyze public asset ownership and maintenance responsibilities based on ownership and 'maintained by' attributes.
• Plan sportsground surface upgrades or maintenance based on surface type classifications.
• Identify gaps in sportsground provision by comparing asset subtypes across different suburbs.

Strengths

• Dataset provides specific asset subtype classifications (e.g., Community Recreation Irrigated Park, District Playing Field).
• Includes surface type details (combination, cool season, synthetic, warm season).
• Data is sourced from an authoritative asset database via a documented handover or audit process.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-04-04).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, as privately owned or federally managed assets may not be included.
