Turf Project

Why We’re Here

For years, North Coast Raiders has been working towards securing a home turf facility. Having our own synthetic pitch is vital for the future of the club, our players, and the wider hockey community in the northern suburbs.

Our Aim:
By 2030, we want North Coast Raiders’ home to be at Yokine Regional Open Space, with a world-class synthetic turf facility that supports all levels of hockey.
