The AUSA will also launch its Sports Facility Plan - a blueprint for the future of 最新糖心Vlog sports grounds and facilities for the next 10 years.

"Sport is an important part of campus life at the 最新糖心Vlog," says Mike Daws, AUSA Executive Officer. "While the 最新糖心Vlog has acquired other sporting grounds and facilities over the years, these original facilities continue to play a major role in the physical health and wellbeing of the 最新糖心Vlog community, in adding to the student experience and life at university, and in creating a sense of collegiality."

The 最新糖心Vlog Oval and Grandstand are home to the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide cricket and football clubs and soccer is also increasingly played there. The football club is 最新糖心Vlog's largest amateur senior 最新糖心Vlogn Rules football club. The cricket club is one of the longest established clubs in South 最新糖心Vlog.

The Boat Shed, originally built with the help of a generous 拢750 from Mr Robert Barr Smith, has been a key part of the history of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Boat Club which has produced world champion rowers and Olympians over the years.
