Bruce Purser Reserve

Bruce Purser Reserve is a sports facility in Kellyville, an outer suburb of Sydney, Australia. It was constructed in 2008 on the site of a former rubbish tip, at the corner of Commercial Road and Withers Road. Its main feature is a grassed oval constructed to competition standards for Australian football and cricket. This is supplemented by practice pitches for cricket, an amenities building with changing rooms and a canteen, plus picnic areas and car parking. The ground is floodlit, enabling the playing of night matches.

The first major event at the Reserve was an Australian Football League pre-season practice match between the Sydney Swans and the Western Bulldogs on 14 March 2009. The ground was officially opened in a ceremony at half-time during that game. The Swans played North Melbourne in a NAB Cup match at Bruce Purser Reserve in 2012.

The ground is the home of East Coast Eagles in the Sydney AFL competition.
