Welcome to Swampside

How to get to Swampside Park

By car: From North, South and West: Exit Saltmarsh Road at the Berking turn-off and remember to keep the windows up when passing the pesticide factory as it is still under investigation for airborne toxic contaminants. At the round-a-bout, take the third exit onto Berking Road and take the first right after the Asbestos Arms pub into Swampside Road. Carry straight on for 3km and turn left at the fishkill in Berking River. The ground is on the right-hand-side next to the Berking Clay Target Shooting Club.

By Rail: The proposed rail link to Berking in 1898 is still awaiting approval and construction, so travellers can expect delays. Alternatively, transport can be arranged through Berking's only taxi. However, visitors should be advised that the local taxi driver is also a season ticket holder and is unavailable until after the match where he can often be found under a table in the Asbestos Arms.

By Bus: The number 13 from Brisbane runs along Swampside Road but rarely slows down on match days due to an overwhelming throng of brick-hurling home fans.

Local fans are welcome to use the Rovers courtesy bus located at Berking Junction. The keys are above the sunvisor.

Parking: There is currently no official club parking for away supporters, however, local schools such as Berking Primary School offer parking for $5. Patrons should be advised that additional costs may be incurred if you wish the local schoolchildren to refrain from thieving your wheels.

Home fans can purchase season parking at the beginning of the year, but they sell out almost immediately as there are only 6 available spaces at the club and the Board of Directors are entitled to first preference.

Pub Guide: The Asbestos Arms is the most popular for home fans and is found on the corners of Swampside and Berking Roads. It is an excellent venue for the more discerning supporter who wishes to discuss tactics and mesothelioma. There is plenty of room inside and a beer garden can be located out the back if you climb over the neighbour's fence. Across the road is the Rising Damp, which is a more traditional local pub. Families are very welcome here on the proviso that wives and children are left at home.

Food Guide: The food services at Swampside are run in-house by the kitchen staff. There is a huge variety on offer around the ground as the increased traffic and consequent roadkill on match days contribute to an already inviting menu. There are three types of pies available: small, medium and large. For a more formal meal on match day you may wish to enjoy executive hospitality and for more information on this you can contact Speedy Pizza on Berking Junction.

Swampside Park is 75% towards the completion of a total redevelopment that will result in only 2,500 seats and one-third of the pitch being flooded by seawater during high tides. Recent funding has also been acquired to improve the quality of the pitch during the off-season. This will ensure that Swampside Park continues as the finest seagrass/saltmarsh playing surface in the world.
