THE HOME OF SPORTS IN ORANGE
Welcome to Waratah Sports Club, the base for a wide range of sporting groups, all accessing our superior sporting facilities. But, we are more than just sport. Our licensed clubhouse features a quality, family-friendly restaurant, and full bar facilities.
Open seven days a week, with functions our speciality, celebrate being part of Orange’s active community.
OUR STORY
Waratah’s was built by the community and belongs to its members. The clubhouse was built by volunteers in the 1970s and an extension was completed in 2017 to accommodate the Club’s growing sporting codes including AFL, rugby, soccer, touch football, netball and hockey.
As a not-for-profit Club, all income generated is returned to members and users via improvements to our clubhouse, our grounds and facilities.
OUR HISTORY
The Orange Waratah Sports Club Limited opened its doors in 1983. Thanks to the amazing foresight of founding members and ongoing voluntary commitment, the Club has continued to develop and is now regarded as a benchmark for what can be achieved through a private-public partnership.
The Clubhouse itself began its life as the Army Hall, located on the corner of Kite St and Lords Place, on what is now the site of Service NSW. Purchased for $1, the hall was dismantled and re-erected at its current North Orange location, in what was (in those days) a completely undeveloped part of the City.
The Club was appointed as trustee for 18.5 hectares of Crown Land in 1982, and immediately began the development of sporting facilities. This began with the construction of two playing fields with lights. The Club now has eight full-size, multi-purpose playing fields, as well as areas for juniors and specialised athletics. Almost all have lighting.
The Club is guided by a Board of Directors, with all Directors providing their time – and considerable input – as volunteers.
