Records show that cricket has been played in Springwood, on or near the site of Lomatia Park, since at least 1882, but it wasn't until 1895 that Lomatia Park was named and became the home of cricket in Springwood. It is 108 years since Lomatia Park was established and the small, humble field is still home to Springwood Cricket Club, making the club the second oldest cricket club in NSW still operating - behind Sydney University Cricket Club.
