The Camberwell Sports Ground (CSG), sometimes stylised as the Camberwell Sportsground, is an Australian rules football and cricket arena in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell. As of 2025, it is home to the Old Scotch Football Club in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) and the Camberwell Magpies Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition. The CSG was originally a vegetable garden known as "Brooks Paddock", and part of Camberwell Racecourse. The preparation of a new sports ground (originally dubbed "Bowen Park") on this site was finished in 1909 and the Camberwell Football Club first played at the new ground the in 1910. A grandstand for visitors' rooms (the "Tramways Grandstand") was built in 1920, with Camberwell joining the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1926. A much larger spectators' grandstand and pavilion was built in 1935, in time for the 1936 season. In 2016, the CSG hosted two Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) matches, as the Melbourne Renegades could not play at Junction Oval because of its redevelopment. The Renegades also played the majority of its home matches in the 2017–18 at the CSG.
