Morwell Recreation Reserve is a multi purpose sport complex located in Morwell, Victoria, Australia. It is the home ground of the Gippsland Power Football Club NAB League team, the Morwell Football Club in the Gippsland Football League, and the Morwell Cricket Club in the Latrobe Valley & District Cricket League.
The stadium, with a maximum capacity of 10,000, has also hosted a series of AFL pre-season matches. In 2014, the stadium hosted a Victorian Football League game between the Collingwood and Richmond reserves.[2] In 2019, the stadium hosted its first regular season AFL Women's game, with Collingwood hosting the Greater Western Sydney in Round 4.[3]
An upgrade to the site by the Latrobe City Council commenced in 2018, and saw the installation of new netball courts, lighting towers, a shared pavilion, and a synthetic playing surface for Australian rules football, soccer and cricket.[4] The second stage of the upgrade was completed in January 2019.[5]
Falcons 2000 Soccer Club - who spent eight years at the adjoined Keegan Street Reserve (part of the Morwell Recreation Reserve's greater footprint) between 1974 and 1981 - moved to play on synthetic field at the Morwell Recreation Reserve whilst the major capital works at the Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park took place in 2025 and 2026.[6]
