Serving the Old Xaverians Football Club, Prahran Football Club and Prahran Cricket Club, the upgraded Pavilion provides inclusive, female-friendly changerooms, flexible social and function spaces, and enhanced amenities that support year-round community use. The project also saw the oval enlarged, drainage improved, and the installation of a modern electronic scoreboard along with state-of-the-art LED lighting to meet competition standards. In addition, it was recognised as one of four finalists in AFL Victoria's 2025 Best Community Football Facilities Project Awards, highlighting its broader impact across the sporting sector.
