Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (This site's own directory data records a first year of 2003 for this venue, but Rugby League Project's own results page -- independently re-checked via a direct re-fetch -- lists all 4 recorded matches in 2018 only, with no 2003 fixture anywhere on the page. No candidate 2003 match could be found tying any nation to Norford Park via Wikipedia or general web search either. This is a genuine, unresolved discrepancy between this site's own data and its own cited primary source, disclosed rather than silently corrected to either figure.) |
| Home club | No rugby league club confirmed as a permanent home tenant -- the obvious local candidate, the short-lived 2007-2009 semi-pro Chester Hill Rhinos, played instead at the Terry Lamb Complex. Norford Park appears to function as a neutral, multi-purpose hired venue. |

Name history
Rugby league history
Hosted a mixed slate in 2018: an NSWRL Women's Premiership Round 9 double-header (Wentworthville vs Souths, Penrith vs Canterbury), plus two Tier 2/3 nation internationals (Greece vs New Caledonia, crowd 200, the venue's top recorded crowd; Poland vs Hungary). The Greece and Poland fixtures fall within the same 2018 window as the Emerging Nations World Championship, but Norford Park is not listed among that tournament's official venues on Wikipedia, so these were likely separate or associated fixtures rather than part of that specific tournament -- unresolved rather than assumed either way.
