About McKane Park Holdings Ltd

The facility includes a clubhouse, licensed bar, hospitality spaces and sporting facilities used by members, supporters, visitors and the wider community throughout the year.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, organised and self-motivated individual to take on the role of McKane Park Manager, helping to ensure the successful operation of the venue while supporting its continued growth and development.
