The playing surface is rectangular in shape and is used almost exclusively for football (soccer) matches. The venue is the home ground of ACT Premier League club Belconnen United FC and W-League club Canberra United FC.

The main grandstand is named after Ken Carter, who has been involved in the Belconnen Soccer Club since its formation and contributed significantly to the club's development.
