Fairpark Football Club, nicknamed the Lions, is an Australian rules football team. It is based in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and is part of the Eastern Football League.The club includes Senior, Reserve, and Under 18s teams, as well as a large number of youth teams that joined the Senior Club in 1997.
The clubrooms are located in Fairpark Reserve in Ferntree Gully, near the intersections of Park Boulevard and Manuka Drive, while the juniors are located at Lewis Road Reserve in Boronia.
The club has reaped the advantages of its administrators' hard work, with memberships increasing in recent decades and this trend set to continue.The club concentrates on great junior development in the hopes of keeping youngsters off the streets and building their teamwork, social skills, and football skills, which will help them grow into excellent community-minded individuals in the future.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have a Veterans squad (over 35s) and have added a second Veterans squad (over 40s) in recent seasons. We always welcome new players and fans.
The team opted to restore to its previous name, the Fairpark Lions, after the 2015 season.[1]
