There was considerable discussion at Committee meetings after the War ‘to bring Chatswood Oval into line with other sporting grounds in the city and suburbs.’ Much was achieved in the next five years. In May 1919, a tender of £20 was accepted for the installation of a ‘practice wickets area’ to measure 60 feet by 40 feet (18.3 metres by 12.2 metres) at the northern end of the Oval. It no longer exists but for many decades the Club used these pitches at the beginning of the season and moved to those at the southern end after Christmas.
