The playing surface was upgraded to a generation 4 synthetic surface, manufactured by Field Turf.[5] completed in June 2012.[6] The synthetic surface had a mixture of cryogenic rubber and sand infill. The playing field dimensions are 76m x 125m with line marking 68m x 110m making it at the time the largest synthetic football field in Australia. The field was again re-laid in 2022 by Polytan using an infill of cork and coconut husk mixture, the playing size was also reduced to 68m x 105m to meet FIFA international standards. In early 2018 Cromer Park No. 2 was re-opened as a second Synthetic pitch and installed by Polytan. In 2022 a new updated clubhouse/bistro was opened to compliment the complex.. [7][8]
Stormwater harvesting was integrated into the design of the synthetic field to irrigate fields 3, 4 and 5 at Cromer Park.[9]
