Get Involved: The Local Clubs Bringing the Ripley Community Together

Back to News

Moving to a new neighbourhood isn’t just about finding your forever home, it’s about the community you’ll be part of. At Amory, that community is already established and thriving, with a strong local and welcoming sporting scene at the centre of Ripley. What’s exactly on your doorstep? Let’s jump straight in.

Ripley Valley Football Club

Ripley Valley Football Club (RVFC) is a wonderful example of a community growing together. Started in 2018, this grassroots club has expanded into more than 500 members across 30+ teams, spanning junior, senior, women’s and master’s football.

Based in Ironbark Park in South Ripley, they received a $2.18 million clubhouse and amenities upgrade in 2024, including dedicated women’s and girls’ changerooms. More players, more teams, and more ways for the whole family to get involved and cheer from a proper home ground.

A New Home for Cricket and AFL

Something new is coming soon to South Ripley! Ipswich City Council is building a brand-new sports park in Goolpahjo Harry Thompson Senior Park, purpose-built for cricket and AFL and ready for the 2026-27 season. The Council is already expressing interest from clubs keen to call it home. It’s a great one to watch, and a great chance to get involved early if cricket or AFL is your game.
