The Committee of Management members are all actively involved with the various sporting groups that use the club-rooms, ground and trotting track and are always striving to bring out the best in their facility.
The Recreation Reserve hosts a range of events each year, including the KR Don Christmas party, Castlemaine Lawn Mower Racing and local school athletic days.
The following clubs have their home ground here:
- Campbells Creek Colts Cricket Club
- Campbells Creek Football Netball Club
- Campbells Creek Junior Football Club
