Bicentennial Park South
The football ground at Rockdale sits inside a much larger park that the council laid out for Australia's bicentenary, and the pitch that Rockdale Ilinden FC play on now is not the one that came with it. Work began in October 2008 and the redeveloped ground opened in December 2009, managed by Boyd Properties and paid for by the council that was then Rockdale City and is now Bayside. The club moved in for the 2010 season and has been the main tenant since.
What changed the ground most came later. In 2017 and 2018 the council spent $1.5 million tearing out the natural grass and laying a FIFA-accredited artificial surface. A lighting upgrade followed in 2019, bringing the ground up to the standard needed for televised night matches — and with that, the tenancies multiplied. Sydney FC Youth came in for 2020, left after 2022 and returned in 2024. St George FC used it from 2018 to 2024, Hurstville FC for two seasons from 2020, UNSW FC for one in 2019, and Dunbar Rovers FC arrived in 2025.
Of the 5,000 capacity, only 500 are seats in the grandstand; the rest of the crowd stands. It is known to plenty of people by its other name, Rockdale Ilinden Sports Centre, and the address on West Botany Street is shared with the northern and eastern sections of the same park. No NPL NSW Grand Final has been played here.
