"This is only about the free to play football pitch. The quality of the pitch is mediocre and the fences are not very high (ball can easily go into school and then it is a struggle to get it back if you don't go to school there). The grass is quite high and ground not same level. Good thing is it is quite big (big enough for 7 aside game) and there are goals in good condition. It is unfortunate that you have to book so far in advance but at least it makes sure you have a chance to play and train with whoever you want."

"When I spent my early years in Casuarina, it had a very good environment; a few gardens, a big parade square, a field, and big spacious canteens. I had lots of fun playing catching and stuff during break time , and I would have given 5 stars BUT as I spent my last few years in Casuarina, a random preschool moved in and took up all our facilities; they converted a whole school building into the preschool, and converted one of my favorite garden into a playground for the children. I feel very disappointed to look at my primary school being turned into this, so 3 stars."
