Best Brisbane Social Sport

The Best Brisbane Social Sport Reviewed

As we move towards more active lifestyles there is a lot of interest in social sport.

Parking and access

Often singles, couples and groups want to drive to play their social sport of choice. Venues with good free parking close by are rated more highly. Venues with good access via public transport are also rated favourably.

Cost

Good social sport usually costs a small fee but court and equipment costs should be affordable so players can play regularly.

Food and drinks

If some food and drink is available on the premise or nearby that is reviewed favourably.

Toilets and showers

Yes I could have called them rest rooms, but this is Australia so just be glad I went a respectful local term rather than something more slang. For many people, the ease of getting from their playing area to the nearest toilet is of the utmost importance to their sport and social experience. The state of the toilets and the length of the queues when they get there are also important. For some players who come directly from work or go directly to other events, easy access to clear showers is also important.
