"Im sorry but for social basketball this facility has gone down a long way"
"Good sporting venue however is run down and needs some maintenance"
"This place has not changed since a decade ago, oh my goodness"
"The basketball program for kids is awful"
"Decent facilities and comps for basketball and other sports"
Im sorry but for social basketball this facility has gone down a long way. The Referees are absolutely hopeless, not giving obvious calls, not knowing basic rules of basketball (I got called for a double dribble after someone poked the ball away and I re gathered).. Some dont even wear shoes and then "run" a 10m space of the court. How are you supposed to see anything from that far. If we are going to pay $67 dollars each team per game Id expect some sort of effort. I will be withdrawing our team from this league at the conclusion of this season and going to another facility from then on.
Good sporting venue however is run down and needs some maintenance. Facilities in need of upgrades, staffing number increase required to cope with canteen queue and traffic flow on sporting events held. Cleaning/wiping of surfaces required more frequently. Rest rooms in need of maintenance and does not cope with high capacity. Bins overflowing, no wipes, no toilet paper, not enough sanitizer available especially when toilets are continually out of order. Field outside, sports courts downstairs, gym upstairs.
This place has not changed since a decade ago, oh my goodness. Toilets look like a scene from a horror movie with how disgusting it is. I’m surprised the courts got re drawn to the modern basketball styles. But seriously. Still no air con? You got to be joking right. Old scoreboard doesn’t help either when you can’t reset timer to repeat after it hits 0. Major cleaning and revamping should be done to ensure this stays as a decent facility.
The basketball program for kids is awful. The staff do not care. My kids were confused and upset from how disorganised everything was. One kid was on the floor crying.. the trainer walked over and nudged him with her foot. When I asked for a refund the staff wouldn't even talk to me, or look at me. was really weird and unprofessional. Would take a lot to get my kids back there.
Decent facilities and comps for basketball and other sports. Also has a gym. Over the holidays or in off times is a nice place to go just to shoot hoops and practice a bit and doesn't cost much to do. Just make sure to call and make sure the courts aren't being used or that there isn't anything on during the holidays.
Great sporting facility, Although location is awkard and somewhat dangerous for cars. Entry sign is hidden by council overgrown trees making entry very hard to see. Upon exit turning right across 6 lanes of traffic is also dangerous. I'd advise turning left onto the main road when leaving.
Sick car park. I'd park there again. No idea what's inside 'mars' but for the sake of this review I can confirm it has at least 45 parking spaces. Over 50 if you count the grassy areas some creative go getter has decided is now a parking spot. 8/10 would park again.
Dropping my rating down a star been going for over 10 years, the toilets are not cleaned as often, the place can be hotter inside than outside they really need to fix the vents, even a passive outlet at top to let hot air out would be great
After going there for 3 years now I have to agree with most of the negative comments except for: The car park is usually over flowing if there are 3 basketball games on, the toilets have now been refurbished as of Jan 2023 and are better
Umpires for basketball are absolutely incompetent. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing and missing majority of obvious calls for travel, fouls. Extremely disappointed with the level of their basketball umpires.
Soccer pitch was extremely worse for wear. Uneven ground and patchy turf. Very little room and safety for spectators. Whilst the club rooms seemed somewhat new, the ladies toilets smelled revolting!
Worse stadium ever, bathrooms are filthy, nobody cleans them. The courts are slippery and easy to get injured if you are looking for social should go to lightview and st Clair.
Friendly asian girl at reception and great facility for basketball. Lost 1 star for food shop staff chatting when they should have been making our coffees...25/07 a.m.
Very friendly staff and it is the best spot for basketball training. They have a gym as well inside the premises and a small cafe to grab a coffee or have some snacks.
Good centre but a little difficult to find the first time. Google Maps took us around behind the centre and we had to turn around and reach it from the main road.
Great venue for basketball. Came in a couple days ago and had great service from a young man Michael, everything seemed in a cleanly manner. Very pleased :)
The experience with women's basketball.at this stadium would benefit from management dividing the competition into two divisions of similar ability.
Very little notice taken of Covid19 recommendations_ I think. Are we still clearing out the courts before the next game starts? Has that finished?
Excellent venue, rolling with well organised rotations of after school Sports... Great win East Adelaide basketball team under 9's …
We normallyvuse the place for my kid's basketball games every week. I hope they work on the aircon as this is an area for improvement.
Competition going downhill, courts are slippery with too much dust, management need to even out divisions and clean the damn courts!
Nice big sports centre r e with excellent facilities. Great basketball courts. Also has a well stocked cafe. Plenty of car parking
Went here for the annual Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair. It's big and spacious, has a loo, an ATM and a place to buy food and drinks.
3 well kept & services indoor basketball courts but no big industrial fans to cool off players in the social summer competition.
We go each Wednesday to see our granson play basketball. It's a great place for young and old to participate in sport.
Really enjoyed watching my favourite Australian nephews playing basketball - cool place to visit! …
Good social comp excellent management by Emily a little over priced and scoring sheets are outdated but overall good
Mars is the best gym. Des the owner a great personal trainer & Julie is the best yoga instructor Omenxxxii …
Feels like I'm in at the master chef competition every time we play. Esp us asian players, cooking show! boo!
Great stadium to play at, convenient parking and the courts seem to be well-maintained. Great to play on.
Courts were really dirty. One of the parents had to sweep it. Bind were all full and overflowing at 9am.
Good sports center has inflatable world there every holidays good for basketball and soccer with a kiosk
Great facilities. Three basketball courts. Plenty of court side seating. Well run. Canteen available.
Basketball here is great to watch. Very spacey for spectators & going by today, looks well organised
Great social basketball competition on Wednesday nights. Good courts. Bit hot during summer though.
Pretty average considering the price you pay, the lost game time and some of the umpires poor calls
Great Gym has all the required work out equipment great customer base and friendly helpful staff.
Turramurra isn't good .. Mars is far worse. Courts 2 and 3 are poorly lit and no air conditioning
Cars Park on bike track on private road block traffic needs to be addressed for safety reasons
Great stadium for the kids sport, with excellent, helpful staff. Glad to be a part of it :)
Great basketball stadium sad on Tuesday it closing it opening it doors for the last time.
Great competition, one of the best places to play recreational basketball in Adelaide.
Used to be good but now overpriced and dated. Also no air conditioning on the courts
Big volleyball/basketball venue. But a bit dated, compared to the new ARC now...
Courts are always clean. Great umpires for the young kids basketball programs.
looking a little tired or is it we are just spoilt with all the newer centres
Good to see kids playing basketball, gaining skills and enjoying themselves.
Home of many memories. Welcoming place but not top level courts/facilities.

Awful place to play basketball. Backwards venue, no aircon on a 32deg day!
I would recommend grabbing a coffee before getting to the sports centre..
Friendly staff. Cruisy schedules for sports. Arena kept in good shape.
Car parking is free and large enough. Toilet locker room is clean.
My son plays basketball here and absolutely loves it at the centre
