| Victoria Park, also known as McHale Stadium, hosted its last official AFL game on 28th August 1999 between Collingwood and Brisbane. Collingwood Football Club still trains at the ground. It was also used for Soccer when the Collingwood Warriors Soccer Club entered the National Soccer League in the mid-late '90's, until being kicked out of the league a short time later. The Victorian Football League (or VFA) Grand Final has been held at the stadium on a couple of occasions.
Victoria Park has 5 grandstands and a grassed section surrounding the playing arena. The outer stand is to be demolished soon to make way for urban redevelopment. The ground has lighting suitable for training.
