The newly revitalised stadium was open for one month before restrictions halted indoor competitions.
It was officially opened by Edward River Council on February 17 and closed its doors shortly after on March 18.
This forced a difficult decision to postpone mixed netball, ladies netball, junior basketball, men’s basketball, mixed basketball, futsal indoor soccer and kindergym.
Deniliquin Sports Park group manager John Arthur said while its members are eager to get back in, the decision is made by the council along with state restrictions.
“The Sports Park runs the stadium on behalf of the Edward River Council so we are ultimately guided by them,” Arthur said.
“We currently don’t have an update on the return of our competitions but we are following each press release and restrictions update to see if we will have any indication.
“Running competitions will be hard to do unless social distancing in indoor sport stadiums and spectator restrictions ease.
“We wouldn’t be able to open the stadium unless the council is satisfied it’s safe to do so.
“Every day everyone is super keen to get back into it, everyone I speak to is holding out for competitions to start again.”
Arthur said when the time comes, communication will be the key for governing bodies.
“In the approach to reopen when it does come time, there will be a lot of talk between the Sports Park and council to ensure all protocols are followed,” he said.
“Until then I encourage individuals to head to the various outdoor sporting facilities we have in Deni to keep practising and staying active during isolation.”
