Norwood Oval is a sports ground in the suburb of Norwood in Adelaide, South Australia, serving as a local stadium for Australian rules football and cricket. It is the traditional home venue of the Norwood Football Club (founded 1878).

The venue hosts SANFL matches, local club football and community cricket fixtures, with spectator seating including a main grandstand and open terraces. Match days and club events are the main reasons people attend, and the ground is used for training and local community functions outside major fixtures.

The site has long been associated with the Norwood Football Club and local sport; the club itself dates to 1878 and has played its senior home matches at Norwood Oval for many decades. The ground has been adapted over time with updates to grandstands, lighting and facilities to support SANFL and community use.

Sited in the inner-eastern Adelaide suburb of Norwood, the oval sits close to the suburb centre and major shopping strip on The Parade, roughly a few kilometres east of Adelaide’s central business district.

• Primary use: Home ground of a long-established South Australian National Football League club and used for community cricket and events.
• Access: Located close to Norwood town centre and major shopping strip, with easy access from Adelaide’s inner eastern suburbs.

Norwood Oval is about 5 km east of Adelaide CBD; take local buses that run along The Parade or drive via Payneham Road. Street parking is available but can be limited on match days.

• Check the events calendar for SANFL or community matches-the atmosphere is local and lively when games are on.
• Walk The Parade (Conyngham Street) before or after a match for cafés and pubs frequented by fans.
• If driving from Adelaide CBD, park on side streets or use bus routes serving The Parade to avoid match-day congestion.
