cricket in inner melbourne

The Royal Park Reds are an open access cricket club in Melbourne that aims to include as many people as possible through the game of cricket.

We've been at Poplar Oval for over 30 years and currently have teams in the Mercantile Cricket Association, North Metro Cricket Association, and North Western Metropolitan Cricket Association.

Our do it yourself ethos was born out
of the trade union movement in the
late 70's and a desire to stick it to
the man.
