context_page_description: Henson Park is a multi purpose sports ground in Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia.
context_section_description: Henson Park has changed little since it was first opened.
  On the western side is the King George V Memorial Grandstand, which accommodates about 1000 people. During the 1980s, when the high-profile adman John Singleton was club's chief benefactor, attempts were made to take the traditionally working-class Bluebags up-market. The upper section, named the Jet Set Lounge, at one stage was enclosed with glass and waiters served members and their guests food and drinks.
  From the north west to the south-east side of the ground runs a grass hill - one of the largest in Sydney.
  From the south east to the west, there is a bitumen bank where cars can park. About 200 cars can fit and it has always been popular to watch matches from your car seat.
  There is also a brick scoreboard with a kiosk in the north-east corner.
  Media/Corporate centre also with a kiosk to the northern side of the King George V Memorial Grandstand.
  Full Stadium lighting was installed in the late 1970s for the benefit of night games and for significant games to be televised.
