Commenting on the story: ‘I’m actually shocked’: Lord Mayor reacts to ‘megalith’ park lands sports site upgrades

Park 22, home to the South Australian Church Netball Association, operates with just four toilets for over 350 women each timeslot when competition is running.

Given there are football clubs around Australia with change rooms for women, how about a decent number of toilets at the SAUCNA facilities instead of a long queue for a toilet? – Judith Lukas

The SAUCNA clubrooms are in a worse state than the facilities I used as a junior player in the 1970s – in fact, they are probably that old and never been updated.

The canteen is a nightmare to get served and my guess is they could serve better food options if they had better facilities.

Netball has the highest female participation in Australian sport but we have to put up with rubbish facilities like this. – Debbie Crowhurst

Commenting on the opinion piece: ‘Old Mate’ was genius compared with tourism influencer trainwreck
