ACT Sportsground Locations and Asset Attributes

Polygon data details the locations of sportsgrounds in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by the City Services directorate, with attributes including suburb, ownership, maintained by, asset sub type, and surface type. The dataset is maintained by Transport Canberra and City Services and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map sportsground accessibility by suburb using the location and suburb fields.
• Analyze surface type distribution (e.g., synthetic, warm season) for maintenance planning.
• Identify ownership patterns (e.g., public vs. private) using the ownership and maintained_by attributes.
• Classify asset sub types (e.g., Enclosed Oval, Neighbourhood Oval) for recreational resource allocation.

Strengths

• Polygon geometry provides precise spatial boundaries for each asset.
• Attributes include specific classifications like asset sub type and surface type.
• Maintained through a formal works as executed (WAE) handover or field audit process.

Limitations

• Dataset may exclude privately owned or federally managed sportsgrounds, creating coverage gaps.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of comprehensiveness.
