History of Waverley ‘VFL’ Park

Waverley Park (originally known as VFL Park) was an Australian rules football stadium in Mulgrave, Victoria, Australia. It was opened in 1970 and it's original purpose was to be a neutral venue to be used by victorian VFL/AFL clubs. It ceased to be used for AFL games from the 2000 season, following the opening of Docklands Stadium. Begining in 2002, Waverley was sold and demolished, and replaced with suburban housing. The playing surface and half of the K.G. Luke stand remain due to being heritage listed and remain to this day. From the "VFL Park Superboard" featuring a sepia-toned video screen, to the multi coloured hard pine seats that was exposed to the ice cold wind and rain's coming from Port Phillip Bay, giving Waverley the nickname "arctic park". We look back at the history of the former “home of VFL football” and remember the good (and not so good) moments this unique stadium delivered. I will also ad some video's of former VFL/AFL grounds. Thanks for viewing. :-)
