Pioneer Oval Today
The oval, is part of a major multipurpose sporting precinct, which includes Spicer Park to the south and Northparkes oval to the north. The Parkes Spacemen Junior and Senior Rugby League Football clubs are based at the ground. The innovative club name of the 'Spacemen' drew it inspiration from the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope, which is located to the north of Parkes. The name was also recognised during the 100 year celebrations of rugby league by being listed in the article 100 Reasons Why People Love Rugby League, which appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald.
