Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (Rugby League Project spells this venue Ashton Community Centre Field, but independent research points to Aston Community Center in Aston Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania (no Ashton-named community centre could be found in the Philadelphia area) -- likely a spelling discrepancy in the source data rather than a different venue, though this could not be confirmed with certainty. Separately, for the second match on file (23 July 2016, USA vs Jamaica), three independent Wikipedia articles state this fixture was played at A.A. Garthwaite Stadium in Conshohocken, PA, not at this venue -- independently confirmed here via direct source check. This is a genuine, unresolved conflict between Rugby League Project and Wikipedia, disclosed rather than silently resolved.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
This community recreational field hosted a 2006 Rugby League World Cup qualifier between the USA and Japan, staged as a fill-in fixture after a planned larger tournament in Atlantic City collapsed when other nations withdrew. Its record of a second 2016 USA-Jamaica fixture is disputed with Wikipedia sources, which place that specific match at Conshohocken's Garthwaite Stadium instead, the regular home venue of the Philadelphia-area club side.
