Fists were thrown across the football field and the cricket nets, while young people dressed in sports uniforms watched. Onlookers could be heard screaming, while others sought to separate those involved in the melee.
“It was over something, obviously, and it escalated, a lot of families were here, so it was quite sad to be honest, to see lots of kids crying,” one man told Nine News.
Police were called at 6.10pm after receiving reports of the brawl, but those involved in the fighting fled before emergency services could arrive.
Investigations are continuing on Wednesday morning.
