The Victoria Recreation Grounds, affectionately known as the "Rec" among the boys, is the jewel in the crown of the facilities offered at Queen's College. Used primarily for Athletics and Rugby, the stadium boasts a 6000-seat Grandstand complete with 8 changing rooms and a tuckshop.
With over 90 years of heritage, the Rec has seen many a champion pass through its iron gates, and in 2017, after 15000 votes were cast throughout South Africa, was voted the Best Sports Field by SA School Sports Magazine.
It is a field that has been dubbed "The House of Pain,” holds more than 90 years of memories and has produced seven international players including five Springboks. Although Queen’s College has a total of seven rugby fields which are comfortably able to accommodate the teams they have, it is the Rec which is the host of the main rugby games of the afternoon on derby days.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams are the Queen’s College teams that play on their showcase field in front of an often sold out grandstand during our Saturday afternoon home games.
