Barbour Oval

Barbour Oval functions as a central recreational space for the Amiens community and visiting sports teams. The venue primarily hosts cricket matches, featuring a traditional pitch and surrounding grassy areas suitable for spectators. It represents the region's long-standing connection to grassroots sports and provides a functional hub for physical activity in the rural landscape of the Southern Downs.
