Holm Park Recreation Reserve (sometimes referred to as Holm Park Reserve or simply Holm Park) is multi-sports complex in Beaconsfield, a southeastern suburb of Melbourne. [2] It includes three Australian rules football ovals (two with cricket wickets), four netball courts, and a skate park. [3] Holm Park is the home of the Beaconsfield Eagles Football Club, which competes in the Eastern Football Netball League (EFNL). [4]

Holm Park officially opened on 13 April 2013 following several years of development. [5] [6] After entering into a partnership with the Cardinia Shire Council, the Richmond Football Club hosted an Australian Football League (AFL) pre-season match in 2016 at Holm Park. [7] [8] Richmond has also used the ground for several pre-season open training sessions, and its reserves team has hosted several Victorian Football League (VFL) games at the ground in 2017 and 2018. [9] [10]

Because of redevelopment at Swinburne Centre, Richmond will play a number of home games at Holm Park during the 2025 VFL season. [11] [12]
