Off-Season: Pigeon Ponds Recreation Reserve | precious ruthless ...

P2048939 collage

The second recreation ground to be featured in my ongoing?Off-Season series, which was kicked off last ?month with a?post about the Harrow Recreation Reserve, this afternoon I drove down to check out the Pigeon Ponds Recreation Reserve. Pigeon Ponds is a locality ? just a hall and the Rec, which has the oval (still in use by the cricket club), cricket practise nets, tennis courts, plus the club rooms and various small buildings.

It?s a very peaceful location, and showed signs of recent use with the Australia Day flag bunting fluttering cheerily in the breeze. The grounds gave up some of the quirky details I had hoped for when I started this series, including the inside of the old score-keeper?s box crusted up with bird leavings, the lone chair (numbered 14) at the edge of the oval beside the ornate garden gate, which sports a memorial plaque dating from 1961, and the now-illegible score board.

I spent quite a long time at the reserve, soaking in the serenity.
