Wagga Wagga's premier rectangular sporting venue, and the home of Rugby League in the city, was officially unveiled at a ceremony at the facility on Friday 28 February 2025.
Australian-made erosion control brand Geohex has secured naming rights for the field at the Exhibition Centre (Equex), now officially Geohex Park.
The naming results from a deal with Wagga Rugby League Inc. to run for at least three years, with an option to extend until 2030.
Wagga Wagga City Council resolved at its meeting on 22 July 2024 to allow Wagga Rugby League to enter into an agreement regarding the naming rights for Field 2A at EQUEX.
Manager City Growth & Regional Assets Ben Creighton said Council acknowledges the importance of the partnership between Wagga Rugby League and Geohex.
"The support that Geohex is providing Wagga Rugby League will allow the organisation to continue to invest in the future development of one of the leading regional rectangular sporting facilities in the country," Mr Creighton said.
"These partnerships are vital in ensuring the venue continues to attract elite sporting events while also supporting our local and regional, and school level athletes."
Geohex founder and Managing Director Matthew Holloway says the partnership aligns perfectly with the company's mission to grow its regional presence while supporting grassroots sport.
"Geohex is already the go-to solution for farmers and developers seeking a durable, sustainable way to stabilise soil and turf. From feedlots and stockyards to horse arenas and rural driveways, we're helping regional Australia tackle erosion effectively," Mr Holloway said.
"With a population of over 150,000, the Riverina is an ideal place for us to make a meaningful impact. Partnering with one of the region's premier sporting hubs allows us to connect with the local community, raise awareness of our product, and give back to regional sport."
The field has been a major drawcard for elite sporting events, hosting Canberra Raiders NRL Premiership matches and NRLW pre-season games, a Country v City Origin match, and ACT Brumbies trial games, as well as A-League and W-League pre-season games.
