## History

[edit]

The Adelaide Hockey Club was formed in late 1981, as a result of an internal presidential dispute at Forestville Hockey Club. After a time of sharing playing fields and change rooms, Sturt and Aroha clubs amalgamated with the former Forestville players to form a new club. The home grass fields and club rooms used to be located on the corner of Beaumont Road and Greenhill Road, now a site for junior and half-field competitions. The current home ground is located on at the corner of Peacock and Greenhill Road and includes a full-sized turf pitch and a smaller turf pitch for the junior U9 competition.

The club, as part of a consortium, shares its facilities with Pulteney Grammar School and Tennis Seniors SA.
