Toronto Croquet Club has five croquet greens, a gateball court, and a clubhouse shared with the Southern Lakes Cricket Club (Toronto) and maintained by Lake Macquarie City Council.
The club has been going since 1992 with 2013 being our 21st Anniversary. We have very proactive committee members, groundsman, coaches and volunteers.
We hold regular Golf, Ricochet, Association and Gateball croquet as shown on our calendar. Our courts can be affected by rain. If they are closed then it will be shown in the ground status info above.

The history of Ron Hill Oval by Robert and Glen.
Toronto is located on beautiful Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia. We are 100 kms north of Sydney and 28 kms south of Newcastle. It is only minutes from the M1 Pacific Motorway linking those cities. Just take the clearly signposted turnoff to Toronto at the Awaba Interchange.
Glendale is 12km north of Toronto and also only minutes from the M1. Coming from Sydney direction, take the George Booth exit through Edgeworth. Then loop around via Frederick St as shown on the above diagram. If coming from the northern direction on the M1 then you need to take the Newcastle Interchange ramp and travel down through Edgeworth.
If travelling via train then get off at Cardiff and catch the No13 bus to Glendale. Get off at the bus stop adjacent the Car Park Exit at Bill Bower Oval and then take the path to the Lake Mac Croquet Centre. (Note: There are no bus stops in Frederick St.)
Besides the activities on Lake Macquarie, we are not that far from beaches or a wide variety of Hunter Valley wineries with tasting venues and accommodation.
