Ferntree Gully Eagles Football and Netball club Junior Division use Pickett's Reserve twice per week for the Juniors to train on and our girls teams use Pickett's as their home game oval on a Sundays.

By providing new lights to Pickett’s reserve, we at Ferntree Gully Eagles Football and Netball Club Junior Division will benefit by being able to offer night games which will provide an avenue for the wider community to come together to celebrate the new facilities. This in turn will bring in extra fundraising opportunities through the additional usage of the facilities and canteen purchases in particular to our All Abilities and Girls Teams.

This venue services the community well but is in serious need of the lighting upgrade to continue to do so in a safe and effective manor

Some new Lights at Pickett's reserve is too long overdue and is not only for effectiveness and safety at training 5 Nights a week but also at weekly Family events where we have lots of small children around, most of which you can't see properly due to the poor lighting, New lights would assist not only the players & coaches but also the local community feel safe and secure. .

Having lights would be great for the All Ability team and give flexibility for training times. Some of our players have difficulty training in poor light

Training is really hard in the current lighting. Would be wonderful and so beneficial to be able to train using the whole ground that is well lit.

With the importance of physical activity for boys and girls, and the ever increasing participation I feel it is imperative that projects such as this be encouraged and acted upon. Brad Wiseman

With the growth of football for Auskick kids, girls/women and the all abilities team better lighting will free up the oval for the logistical issues that now occur. The support given to the volunteer coaches and committee members through this grant will be invaluable.

This will be a great help to all the junior boys & girls teams to train on as we have a full schedule allocating grounds for all teams use
