History

The area that is now Rushton Park was first gazetted as a sanitation site on 20 August 1926, and was converted to a recreation reserve in September 1958, under the

Sri Lankan and Tamil Nadu sides, in 1987 and 1988, respectively.[7] After the Peel Thunder Football Club was accepted into the WAFL for the 1997 season, Rushton Park became its home ground. The first game of the 1997 season, against South Fremantle, drew a crowd of 5,781 people.[8]

Attendances declined during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with an average of around 1,200 attending games at Rushton Park.

Bendigo Bank as part of a three-year deal.[12] A A$9 million redevelopment of the ground, consisting of the construction of a new grandstand and facilities, began in February 2010, and was completed in June 2011.[13][14] The ground hosted the 2011 State Game against Queensland in June 2011.[15] An AFL pre-season match between West Coast and Port Adelaide during the 2012 NAB Cup was attended by approximately 9,000 people, setting a new ground record.[16]
