The magnificent Exies Sports Complex provides the community with some of the best sporting facilities in the region. The main oval, Griffith Ex-Servicemens Oval, is home of the Griffith Swans and is a sensational venue for Australian Rules Football, Rugby League and Cricket among others. The ground has elevated stading room areas around the ground to cater for large crowds. The ground often plays host to pre-season trial games for both the AFL and NRL.

The record crowd for the ground is around 8,000 for an Interrnational Cricket match in the 1960's against the English M.C.C. The largest recorded crowd for a Rugby League game is 6,831 for a trial between Parramatta and Melbourne in 2006, while the largest Australian Football crowd is 5,500 in 1996 for a pre-season game between Sydney and Brisbane.
The complex also includes a fully lit training facility adjacent to the main oval. The Board has plans to extend the Club within the next five years and also build a grand stand.
